Great People / Poor Leadership - Anonymous employee Charity Dynamics Employee Review

- With 3 CEOs taking the helm in the past 4 years, there is obvious instability that should be addressed by the Board. - Although new leadership touts positivity and openness, behind closed doors this is not the case. - Leadership mock clients and their staff during conference calls. - Professionalism is lacking at the very top. - Managers, Directors, and VPs now have little say in how their departments are run. What used to be a democracy is now a dictatorship. - Leadership appears to see discussions or respectful push-back as attacks on their authority, resulting in retaliation or added scrutiny. - Capacity is low and staff is stretched thin, often working long hours. Although unspoken, staff is expected to put down just 40 hour timesheets even when they've worked substantially more. - Adequate training is lacking. - HR department often sides with leadership's direction rather than the best interests of the company and their employees. - The CEO's management style can be erratic, inconsiderate of employee needs and morale, and inconsistent with core company values. Her communication and leadership styles can be cut-throat, expletive-filled and may work well at sales organization on Wall Street, but they do little to encourage openness and creativity at a boutique digital marketing agency.
