Leadership is spot on

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I think the leadership is taking the organization in right direction. Sure there were hiccups from the merger, but the path is clear and promising.

Cons

Not a clear path for growth internally. I asked my Director several times for opportunities and was told "perhaps" but also not given any feedback on how to get there. This is proven out by several people who leave to take on bigger roles externally, only to come back after a time into a role they should have been promoted into in the first place.

Onto Innovation Response
