IS&T - toxic blame culture rewarded by SLT
Pros
Teams bonding over shared trauma Some incredible people (who will never get a seat at the table because they outshine those who are at it)
Cons
Siloed and political SLT - encouraged and rewarded by CIO (just look at recent turn over - just where did all the females go?), people bullied until they leave or go in stress leave, inflated egos, so much red tape/ /multiple approvers/regret work/change in direction, burnt out employees, no prioritisation, unrealistic timeframes and expectations with no leadership on how we can get there or support to move things forward, artificial harmony at all levels, patronising employee communications that are don’t communicate anything we need to know or that matters to us, weak strategy with no plan on how to achieve, Brisbane-centric SLT with no connection to operations, customers or people on the ground, inauthentic SLT (spend more than one meeting with them and witness the change in story depending on who they are speaking to next), leadership scared to speak up - even with the $$$$ they burn “investing” in multiple coaches to build trust, team members who have completely given up - overpaid so continue to stay, but zero trust that things will get better or they will be heard so don’t give feedback in surveys.
