I know my success at Verizon or any job was attitude and adaptation. It was also how quickly I could get good at the next challenge and make the changes I needed that would help me win. Sounds easy, but it requires a full buy-in and positive mindset. So far, what has changed? Are we sold on the direction and does leadership value our buy-in? I think transparency is a key to moving forward and calming fears. I don't think this leadership team has shown anything of the sort. It's easy to tell a future failed leader by both actions and inaction. If the entire team isn't on board then "you ain't winning". We are lost and a plan hasn't even been clearly laid out for our success. Again, the company is trying to do this without us. Only when we are a team and valued will we succeed. Hate to break the news... we are still not valued. They count on us to do the lifting but don't give us reason, respect or credit. When the employees are here for more than a paycheck you win. When we are here for the team and to help Verizon win then we will become a different company. When leadership fights FOR us and makes US first then and only then will Verizon change and become a leader. This leader failed in his first message and it's been downhill from there.

Totally agree - Dan talks about AI, which is fascinating and eye opening, but what is the plan for VZ? I’m hearing nothing!!!! Next, bring in Alfonso to write 10 points on a whiteboard that sound like McKinsey Management platitudes circa 2017. We’re doomed!
Dan said everyone needs their team to be with them but the Leadership overall don’t seem to have grasped that…it’s them and us, secrecy and non-transparent leadership versus speculation, anxiety,disillusion and generally waiting for tomorrow to see what that brings
WELL STATED!!
