The company has some serious problems with managing their management. One research director likes to use threatening methods to ask other researchers to follow his orders and takes credits of the final project. His focus on grabbing the power and having researchers only work for himself is potentially damageable to the company. There are cases where he openly discouraged researchers to work for the C-suite and questioned the motivation of the research projects proposed by the CIO. By forming coalitions and backstabbing, this research director is working against the company's flat structure and causing high turnovers in the research team.
