- Arrogant, self-serving executive leaders with questionable qualifications—turf wars put staff in the middle, cause delays, lead to project failures
- Odd focus on promoting CEO over organization
- Little respect shown staff by leadership; obvious favoritism, even with awards program
- Too much authority given to Brand/Marketing leaders, who ignore what business managers know about their customers and products
- Fear-driven culture, because of micro-management and criticism of those with different (or new) ideas or experiences that challenge executive leaders
- Dated technology; even "new" website doesn't support business needs (maybe because no one asked what we need on the business side)
- Unsupportive HR that is more concerned about protecting the company than helping the staff
