Vantaggi
There is a great sense of comradary among associates to help and appreciate one another. Many of the General Partners are very kind, approachable individuals who see their roles as providing the right support so their team can be successful. This type of leadership trickles down to all levels and makes for happy, hard working teams.
Svantaggi
However, in stark contrast to these empathetic leaders are the imposter leaders who talk the talk of being in service to others, but in reality are only out for themselves. Jekyll and Hyde. These General Partners talk the Jones talk well, yet treat their teams terribly by not respecting personal time off, expecting people to read their minds, changing their minds and then gaslighting others by claiming they got the information wrong, and demanding that Teams revolve around them. These leaders aren't looking to support but to rather use associates to climb on their backs to look good for those outside their team. I found it painfully ironic to be working at a firm that has won "best of" awards and yet be subjected to toxic leadership that kept me in survival vs thrive mode.
