Svantaggi
Leadership operates with volatility that slows execution and causes people to become indecisive. Senior hires are expected to drive growth, yet the structure and alignment needed for success are never provided. When the predictable fallout comes, accountability shifts downward while the former CEO moved seamlessly into a board role. The pattern feels familiar: those with power fail upward, while those doing the actual work, often women, carry the weight or were perhaps set-up to fail to begin with. The organization would benefit from an independent governance review, stronger accountability mechanisms, and a leadership model that prioritizes competence over internal politics. Watching capable leaders exit while disruptive behavior is effectively rewarded reflects a broader problem in corporate leadership structures, not an isolated incident. If we win only when we deflect by disparaging others, we're not winning.
