Such potential, currently wasted.

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot going on within the Company on the people agenda - employee opinion survey, new Pendleton leadership model. Probably no headcount reduction this year in Human Resources (as so many people choosing to move on).

Cons

The leadership within HR ironically are the least people focused team I've worked with. Overly critical, parental coaching style, control freaks who seem genuinely surprised when their blogs go uncommented upon. We simply don't trust each other to deliver - hence the acknowledge bureaucracy and significant time it takes to get products and projects past the finishing post.
