Lack of vision and direction - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso CIMMYT

- Generally old-fashioned. Lacks flexibility and is extremely slow to include new methods, new ideas, new ways of working.. - Since the change of leadership in 2021, the organization has been lacking vision and direction. It is not clear what CIMMYT wants to accomplish and how to get there. It has also changed the culture to mistrust and micromanagement. Along with the general lack of motivation caused by Covid and the merge with One CGIAR, staffs are burning out and leaving. - Lack of transparency. Leadership never explains the reasons behind decisions or appointments. It is not even clear who is leading certain programs or departments. - Leadership doesn't trust other teams and units. Everything has to be micromanaged by the top leader and his clique. Initiative and proactivity are discouraged. - Short-sighted decisions and policies. Policies are applied and interpreted against staff, just to save a few dolars. - Lack of professional development prospects. Zero possibilities to evolve to a higher role..
