This site is obvious place to vent but we should actually be trying to specify what the issue is also. This is the one of the few places we can speak our mind without fear or favor.
My view is that the fundamental issue is that we promote the wrong people and they also do that in turn. There is categorically some incredibly capable individuals in the company but there are many other SLLs who are just there because they worked with someone and they like them. No real intelligence and are myopic on their views. Without a feedback mechanism for managers (like we had a few years ago) then this will never be addressed. I think this would be a fundamental change and would eventually improve the company. It would also align with newest servant-leadership MBA talk that's being espoused.
Interested in your own thoughts or feedback on mine.
