Pathological culture, poor leadership skills and zero knowledge of Digital Transformation and Product Management - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso daisee

Most heads of departments focus on personal power and are kowtowers to the CEO, partly due to cronyism. The management style is domineering, with innovation and creativity discouraged because they threaten the status quo. There was low cooperation and dysfunction in the business and tech development due to lack of leadership skills, lack of experience and knowledge in Digital Transformation and Product Management. Bridging between the organisational functions was discouraged. Novelty got crushed when suggestions for improvements or new ideas were made. In times of failures, the messengers were shot; leadership shirked responsibility of their own mistakes which led to scapegoats. CEO did not care about employee engagement and preferential treatment was shown to kowtowers. Conformity was demanded in the guise of requests for collaboration and positivity. No retrospectives carried out on lessons learned as any feedback was viewed as negativity, past failures were swept under the carpet and a taboo to talk about. The existence of HR was a facade as it was not empowered to drive change — bullying took place and HR could do nothing due to cronyism.
