Great frontline teams hindered by unqualified leadership

Pros

Frontline teams are full of wonderful people who care and go above and beyond.

Cons

The senior executive and leadership teams are all under qualified for their jobs. Most have been at the organisation for a long time so have been promoted during phases of growth. Very little skill amongst them.
