Cons
No clear direction from director - There is a consistent lack of strategic clarity and long-term vision from the director, which makes it difficult to prioritise work or understand business objectives. This often results in shifting goals, reactive decision-making, and teams feeling uncertain about expectations and success metrics. Creative ideas constantly put down by director during internal workshops - During internal workshops and brainstorming sessions, creative ideas are frequently dismissed or criticised without constructive feedback. This creates a discouraging environment that stifles innovation, lowers team morale, and makes employees hesitant to contribute or share ideas in future sessions. CEOs hire staff to manage work but don't take on any advice and dominate all plans of the business - Although experienced professionals are hired to manage key areas of the business, their expertise and recommendations are rarely taken into consideration. Instead, senior leadership tends to dominate decision-making, overriding input and limiting autonomy, which leads to frustration, inefficiencies, and a lack of ownership across teams.
