People are great but most of us spend a lot of time trying to come up with solutions or workarounds for technology or systems that simply do not work.
Due to multiple changes, my skill set no longer matches the work that needs to be done. I am doing tasks and activities that I did 10 years ago. I am not growing and there is no opportunity to do so. Leaving very soon.
Listening and being connected to the rank and file. Don't just sit in the ivory tower. You are treated better because you are an exec. Try navigating through the antiquated technology and systems the rest of us do on our own to understand the challenges the rest of us face everyday!
Stop with the crazy changes for no reason! So much time spent getting executives up to speed or waiting on an executive to be available or having an exec make arbitrary changes that create giant ripples in the organization and add no value. Very disheartening. Let people do their jobs!
