Pros

This company started off with great leaders and then it became greedy. Then, one-by-one upper management started hiring poor leaders to take out the great leaders (like a virus) and all for doing a good job. Then, the CEO/CFO became confused and allowed Middle Management to do his job. His team of Middle Management leaders were introduced to a book called: "Middle Management: Techniques from the Roman Empire" and we all know how this book ends. Actually, the book was called "Emotional Intelligence 2.0" and Middle management misinterprets this book and then uses it as an SOP. This book is a good book but not an SOP. Honestly, if you have to manage a team of workers based out of a book...then you shouldn't be a leader! This book is a Resource of "suggestions" not a SOP.

Cons

Everything from top to bottom. This company doesn't care that its failing.
