What do you like best about the leadership team?

They are all very approachable
Open door policy is phenomenal
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Pay lower level employees more, stop being so cheap with regard to your mid-level employees. Give your managers an extra monitor to work on. Sheesh.
Need to get better at training your employees. Throwing them in a pool full of sharks and watching them float it sink isa horrible method. Hence, the huge turnover rate.
