Cons
Leadership Failure & Lack of Vision Implies a lack of strategic planning and foresight. A direct consequence of leadership behavior and lack of transparency. Destroys morale and ensures the most capable people are not in key roles. Removes consequences for poor performance, encouraging continued mistakes. Prevents honest feedback and makes groupthink inevitable. Creates internal competition and signals that power, not merit, controls success. Resistance to Change & Innovation A fear-based culture that punishes new ideas. ReInstitutional inertia that prevents necessary adaptation to the external world. High Turnover or Disengagement: The inevitable result of all the above—the best people leave, and those who stay are checked out.
