*Dedication to loss-leading initiatives (A nearly 10-person strong marketing team for a company with less than 100 employees - to name one) *No plan when it comes to business development and celebrating successes within this KEY recruitment area. *Excessive focus on vanity metrics, trying to book events that bring in zero revenue. *No training or development for employees who are continually under-performing. Placed on 'Personal Improvement Plans' and then left, to either luckily get a deal or have their 'PIP' extended yet another month.
