Pros
Flexibility and accommodation to work-life balance Encouragement for People Leaders to grow and training for them on a new way of managing Senior Leadership optimism and support for new ideas
Cons
Regardless of HR/People & Purpose communication, organizational and leadership changes are selected and appointed based on their tight network, which creates the inability for others to see a path forward toward leadership. Additionally, those leaders select people like them (in style, view point, color, gender, background) or that they've known a long time, which feels like the same "good ol' boy network". Many of the appointed leaders are white men, with an occasional nod to a (white) woman or man of color. And as they senior leadership is shifted around, creating potential opportunities for workmates to show interest in management, those management spots are also appointed. It's beginning to feel like the senior leadership is excited for growth and changes, but in the end leaving those of us who are looking for opportunities feeling like we have none, and we're expected to rally behind the changes regardless. The ethnic diversity in senior leadership and in management is so minimal that it's discouraging to believe in their words during VIBE week of diversity being important.
