Review from Operations Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Scientific literacy: most of the people in leadership positions aren't able to define the difference between science and pseudoscience. Statistical integrity: there is a pervasive lack of concern for statistical best-practices, p-hacking, post-hock hypotheses, and pre-determined results.
Actually lead the business or try to
Validating employees' efforts. Maybe get better at firing themselves and replacing themselves with individuals who are interested in doing some work.
Review all employees including senior staff. Practice what you preach (and sell to your clients).
The leadership team spends more time congratulating themselves on their superior leadership than they do actually working or managing anything.
Learn how to manage a leadership advisory business
Invest in your own company and people.
Making a completely flat hierarchy.
The firm sell the best engagement tools, but affraid to use it internally.
They should the advice we give to clients to Korn Ferry internally. They should be more honest with employees and demonstrate care for their people with action, not just words.
Walking the talk - do internally what they advise clients to do
Delegating management authority and budgets to local markets
Delegating. Leaders should stop thinking they know everything.
Review from Operations Dept
Understand the needs of your RPO teams and stop doing everything on the cheap. Provide them with the proper tools to get the job done quickly and effeciently. Stop penny pinciing and invest. You need to invest a little if you really want to make project profitable.
Review from Operations Dept
Over promote, arrogant and have no people skills. If you are not a manager you are just pond scum
