Emphasis on teamwork should be paramount. Too much unprofessionalism and jockeying for managerial favor in the workplace for my taste. Intradepartmental romantic dramas take up too much time to manage, unless, of course, the manager is the paramour. It made me feel quite uncomfortable.

I started shortly before the previous CEO passed away unexpectedly. What I liked best about Whit's leadership team was their conservatively-slanted attempt to maintain what Ray had created. However, when that failed, they should have tried something new. It's unfair to criticize w/ 20/20 hindsight

I'd have to say that mismanagement like this starts at the top and corrupts every level all the way down. I definitely do not feel comfortable speaking to the managerial chain all the way up. The few times I attempted, I was rudely told to "Mind my own business." So... Good luck with that!
