Vantaggi
- entire organization is oriented around the mission
- people are empathetic and talented, with many hundreds of years of combined domain expertise
- opportunity to serve our military in the way they need it most
- a great work from home opportunity while it lasted
Svantaggi
- new CEO is implementing ideas that benefit him more than anyone else
- under our new leadership, the USO is implementing a return to office policy that is setting back the organization years
- we're a global organization that needs to be distributed and already figured out how to be successful, so the CEO's strategy makes little sense.
- he's actually asking people to relocate from all over the world to D.C. so people can use Teams to talk to each other from within the same office instead of from our homes. cool. he's about as out of touch as the current administration, so maybe it'll all work out.
- beyond the CEO, things can be slow to move across the organization. process can get in the way of impact.
- back to leadership: how exactly are you ensuring the success of the org for the next 85 years? we are killing support for the field without giving them additional resources. make it make sense.
