Review from Engineering Dept

They listen to what I have to say.

Experienced with company mission priority

KBR's leadership "vibe" is energizing, supportive, forward-looking and flexible. They all want the best solutions, but are not pre-conceived on how to develop or achieve those goals. They provide vision and direction, then engage their teams to chart the path.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Our leadership has gone far beyond authority to enforce rules and restrictions of their own making to include on an off post restrictions. Even ability to eat in dinning facilities. Its is like working in an unorganized dictatorship.

Toxic management and leadership traits. Low level of trust between employees and management.

Understanding the organization and how it really works.

Listening to rank-and-file employees. The world has moved on from the year 2009. Stop listening to yes-men cosplaying as technical experts and start paying attention to the industry.

The company is full of micromanagers and they get even promoted for their micromanagement. Top performers are leaving for the micromanagement. Managers do not have any technical knowledge to advise their people for career growth.

Remember the successes of the past
