Minpunten
Legal department's slowness and risk aversion has been strangling the company for past five years High level of conflict and office politics among departments in some GA entities Ridiculous number of approvals for routine sales (and 10 times worse for international) Family ownership results in inevitable nepotism Lack of training in organizational and people-management skills Sales and marketing are dirty words
