Pluspunten
The people who don’t have to work with the CEO are the best people to interact with because they are still innocent. There is always opportunity to take on new roles and responsibilities because people above you keep leaving.
Minpunten
- The CEO lacks ethical fiber; he acts in the best interest of himself, not the organization or its mission. - The CEO lies regularly and has created a culture of fear-motivated performance amongst his senior leaders who are incapable of holding him accountable. - The CEO is unable to accept any criticism without a tantrum or developing a grudge. - The CEO’s “new ideas” are not new. He believes he’s the first to describe concepts or processes that have been around for 15+ years. All he does is repackage the ideas in so much jargon and fluff. He puts the responsibility on the rest of the organization to decipher what he actually means, which often takes years as he constantly moves the goal posts without warning or consultation with anyone else. - The CEO is 80+ years old and has no succession plan or process that is implementable. - The CEO often counts the number of women and employees of color in the head office as evidence that there is no DEI issues in the office. - Many senior and mid level staff at the Global Office tend to go on medical leave or a sabbatical and never come back to Ashoka.
