CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Corporate provides lots of leeway in how to produce results. There is minimal standardization throughout the organization. Lots of oversight in the form demands but not a lot of solutions being produced from the corporate group.

Cons

No merit increase, reducing competitiveness among other industry peers. Some directors are toxic and really only know how to manage up but strictly demand from their direct and indirect reports leading to a lack of empowerment and excessive micromanagement. Some directors target specific managers. Program managers will create lists of 80 improvement actions and act as though the world is falling and hold multiple meetings with complete lack of awareness of how to actually produce change and improvement.
