- Losing revenue, losing talent, losing market share, losing opportunity
- Toxic culture that is holding the company back
- Incredibly poor leadership at the President level in Higher Ed and International which pervades down - poor leaders promoting poor leaders because they're all 'yes' people who like to be agreed with and fawned over
- Bullying behaviour is common, and HR prefers to blame the person being bullied than take action to prevent it - how much talent do you have to lose because of one individual before it stops? Take a step back and look at the bigger picture, then rethink promoting and relocating toxic people into more senior roles where they can infect more and more people
- Weak to non-existent strategy - trying to turn the clock back to how the company used to be run when the market has moved on is never going to be a winning strategy
- Inability to build disruptive products internally, the engineering teams are at capacity and cannot deliver when priorities are split across the business
- Teams, especially sales, set in their ways and refuse to capitalise on the opportunity to disrupt the market because it's different to what they've done before and change is hard
