Svantaggi
- The new CEO has never been a CEO before and it shows. She has brought her investment banking approach to an outsourcing technology firm and it is not working. Hiring bankers who don’t understand what we do and are focussed on window dressing the numbers with fluffy PowerPoints. This isn’t a bank. - She is installing people through shameful nepotism. If you want a top job then you either need to work at Motive, have studied with her at University or School, or worked at JP Morgan; otherwise forget it. This management changes are hidden behind the Motive model of “investor, owner, operator”. Lots of examples of this have taken place : just look at the Group Senior Management and Senior Management minus one. It’s the most incompetent bunch we have ever had. It’s not possible to IPO with this lot. - The shareholders have stolen wealth from employees. The transfer of wealth has been hidden behind the need for “emergency” funding and manufactured crises (all the while spending millions on employees with job titles that only exist in banks). This is compounded by Directors who have personally withdrawn cash at our expense and been conflicted in approving these raises. This will likely all become public if not managed. - The culture in the organisation is worse than it was before. We have significantly more capital and FTE, but our delivery is still as bad as it was ; the only difference is that our CEO is more shouty than the last (hard to believe). The culture is run by fear with individuals afraid to make a mistake. Nothing has changed apart from morale and engagement. - I am appalled at how people are being treated. People have committed their lives to the organisation in the hope of a decent pension. They are now being treated with such disdain and disrespect.
