I like that my Production managers stands up for his employees when others on the leadership team try to degrade us.
Review from Product Dept
The honesty and empathy. Any manager can be "nice" or encouraging. This executive team is genuine and, like any of us, are doing the best they can.
Review from Sales Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
I am not sure which leadership team you are referring to. However, it seems that upper management (not local) is out of touch with basic business practices... I mean what it takes to make this business work on a day to day basis. The personnel and training to get the work done.
Review from Operations Dept
No favoritism, less hiding behind company polices
Review from Sales Dept
The leadership team needs to remember there is a person behind the spreadsheet. There is more to being a leader than having a good P/L sheet.
Review from Sales Dept
Communication in a clear way, and not with corpo jargon.
Review from Operations Dept
They need to hold people accountable and the ones that need held accountable. There seams to be a buddy system where the buddies do no wrong when it is plain in sight and the people who try to do their best get overlooked or told they are doing wrong. I would be willing to talk to someone if wanted.
Review from Operations Dept
I mean my direct manager is good, I have no clue who the executive team is besides who Peter Jackson is, They don't bother to leave the comfort of HQ or their at home comfort jobs where all they do is teams meetings all day. How can you really be a leader with out even meeting who you lead
Review from Sales Dept
Put processes in place, pay people, have a system to move up, hold management accountable, put the people over the shareholders, stop raising the bar to impossible levels when goals are met
Review from Operations Dept
Listening and recognizing the individuals. There are ups and downs in every market. We celebrated so hard when we hit those highs, but now that we've come down, it feels like we are continuously getting our teeth kicked in.

Better communication be more clear and concise

Take an interest in the person and not the amount of money you will bring in for the month.

Review from Admin Dept
Pay equality, quality of workplace, manager actions and responsibilities, pay, health and safety in workplace, gender equality
Review from Sales Dept
My manager is inconsistent. creates rules that apply to the team but not to themselves. My manager does not have meetings with the team at all, with the exception of yearly reviews which they wait to the last minute to go over. not enough room to explain.
Review from Sales Dept
Leadership needs to actually listen to the employees when they bring up concerns or suggestions to best practices. There is a huge disconnect between what management says is going to happen and what actually takes place on a daily basis.
Review from Design Dept
Communication and employee inclusion, i.e. daily, weekly and monthly goals.
Review from Operations Dept
offering better product, equipment, and essential personal
Review from Operations Dept
Management, leadership, talking to people, respect
Review from Admin Dept
Involving lower and mid level managers in next level projects, information and decisions. Growth through guided experience. Too often growth is calculated by how fast one can figure things out, and not how well we can prepare them.
Review from Operations Dept
INTERACT. IT SEEMS THAT THE ONLT TIME WE SEE ANY MANAGER, IS WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD STOP BY AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK TO SAY HELLO TO THE TEAM. TRY TO ACT LIKE THE TEAM IS IMPORTANT.
