Local teams are awesome. It’s the “outside” interference that derails any notion of a positive (and subsequently more productive) work
It is the reason local managers are here - that is, until corporate leadership belittling and systems/technologies unfit for any business of any size drives them to the brink of mental breakdown.
Continue hiring qualified and capable plant teams and let them run their part of the business. Invest in systems that are fit for a multinational corporation in 2024. And shed the terroristic levels outside of the plants that are stumbling over each other in fear trying to justify their existence.
