Svantaggi
50% of the company has been there less than 5 years. Let that sink in. The people on top do not like company - yet they are under pressure to innovate so they wipe out teams and rebuild them with outside talent. The result is the middle layer of people with working knowledge can be completely neutralized in the course of a meeting. Lots of new people showing up at the middle top - mostly cast offs from failed peers. These newbies struggle for several months, make broad changes (layoffs) without even getting to know their people, then hire their buddies/vendors from the previous company. It's a tired old cycle, one that plagued Johnson Controls, Honeywell, and even GE. They lack a way to create leaders and are constantly looking to Free Agents to fix them. Consultants are having a field day here...we are talking 7 figures in each division because the leaders are simply political survivors with eyes on their own board seats elsewhere and retirement...they can't actually make leadership decisions.
