Pros

There are not many being honest across the Innovation Bank.

Cons

The Innovation Bank leadership including Exco are largely dreadful. All changed and political, toxic, unhelpful and totally incompetent leaders in positions many brought into the business over the last 3 years. Next layer down leaders are generally horrendous and out of their depth. The COO and Transformation Officer is toxic with staff having no idea how she remains unmanaged and in position. No one tackles issues and the business is on its knees

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
