Action is never taken to remove people with "outdated talent" from positions, so people remain in their roles for decades and are never re-educated or prompted to improve themselves. There are a lot of leadership roles that overlap and have undefined ownership, so the levels of bureaucracy make it impossible for a motivated person to navigate. Business processes are interrupted and unwieldy. No sense of ownership. Good managers give up. Bad managers thrive by bullying those who take initiative. Most employees do not make eye contact and rarely smile at each other -- I think this speaks volumes.

Leadership hasn't set a clear vision for the future. Many people in leadership positions have never worked anywhere else. This isn't a healthy environment for people coming from the outside. There is no room for new ideas. Experiences and knowledge of those who come from the outside are not valued.
