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

old systems and old people

Leadership is the worst I've seen! Solution: Invest into caring more about your people > They feel valued, work harder due to constant positive encouragement > Better results > New culture encourages better future leaders > even better results. It's so simple.

The bullying and ridicule in the workplace needs to stop.
