What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Siloed culture, mis-aligned priorities across the teams, decision making held by a small group of people so even as a senior leader you really have no power to move forward.

Executive leadership out of touch with what is really happening and what is important to our customers. Executive team does not demonstrate trust with employees. Need to reassess the amount of time spent on internal actions vs our customers.

Remove the VP he is a cancer to the team.
