Experience and determination in spite of upper management.
Compensation is less than market.
Every one of them is afraid to make a decision.
Eliminate the culture of fear. Every manager fears for their job and refuses to make a decision that may be used against them. If they never act, they can never be wrong.
Upper management is old and tired and appear to be treading water until they can retire and get their golden parachute. New blood is desperately needed. The Board is a rubber stamp for the CEO.
