CEO and senior leadership incompetent

Business Outlook

Pros

Wonderful clinicians and physicians who care about children and work hard to deliver excellent care. Most nursing managers are well trained and the new CNO is effective, honest, and transparent.

Cons

Senior leaders demand meeting after meeting so they can micro-manage every decision. There is no trust. Everything is controlled by the CEO and her close followers. The CEO is out of touch with the medical staff and hides in her office so she doesn't have to deal with the mess. Trust is a huge issue in this very political environment.
