Lack of vision. Company has been doing the same thing for 25 years. Healthcare industry has changed, and is changing rapidly. Competitors have brought in additional services and product lines, allowing for bundling and savings.
High turnover. The entire executive team (save one or two) has turned over in the last 12-18 months. The rest of the company has not faired better with key individuals leaving at an alarming rate.
Management style. Be ready for micromanagement. While accountability is what is said, which is great and in concept sounds wonderful. Be ready to have to say the date and time a project will be completed and if you say 5pm without the CTS, you are corrected. If you happen to miss the deadline, send the email at 5:05pm instead of 5pm that is unacceptable and you will hear about it.
Results don’t matter, the ability to have the tracking system on your laptop say you worked 8 hours that day is what’s important, and yes you will be asked about long breaks without computer activity. So you should be ready to wiggle your mouse while on those phone calls.
CEO. My way or the highway mentality. Unrealistic growth goals in a shrinking market. Sole focus on margin and shareholder value, privately held so he’s the only shareholder, vs doing what’s right for the customer. Lack of trust and vision within his own leadership team.
