What does the leadership team need to get better at?
SF and manual tracking is immense. Daily KPI are unrealistic. Hours spent weekly on trainings, executive meetings, account planning, following design in vs lead out in SF and manual tracking of day-to-day activities make very little time left over to actually do the day-to-day activities.
Review from Sales Dept
Leadership needs to get better at turning strategic intent into operational clarity. For engineering specifically, stronger product direction, earlier UX alignment decisions about what matters most so all can move quickly without constantly dealing with ambiguity downstream.
Review from Engineering Dept
Leadership, particularly in PM, need to be held accountable for the outcomes of their decisions. A name needs to be attached to each change in direction and each expansion decision and metrics set by which to measure the success of that decision and the person driving it held fully accountable.

Review from Engineering Dept
1. Stop being tactical. Quarter on quarter strategies should be replaced with long term vision. 2. Happy employee always result in successful company. 3. Empathetic leadership should not be a statement on paper. 4. Instead of insulting employees, win their confidence. They will do wonders.

Review from HR Dept
Communicating, executing plans better, better messaging, executing new FY with quotas thus not to mess with payroll
Review from Sales Dept
Leadership needs to get better at leadership. Take AI dev days as an example. It was mass chaos, everyone was confused about the goal and the document did not match the messages middle management was conveying. No accountability either. It is easy for middle management to look busy, no results.
