Pros
- Company has been focused on bringing in great talent - Mission-focused, if sometimes misplaced - Amazing internal team and a lot of great coaches - New CPO is a rockstar but stretched SO thin - worry about her leaving and going to a competitor to lead - we'd be in trouble. - Trying to grow out of the startup mentality and see positive changes - HUGE strides in the way company thinks of coaching - A lot of potential with the right person at the helm - Actual changes seen in diversity on the team - Have a leader or two willing to lean into hard discussions
Cons
- Leadership team needs development - too many "yes" people - CEO is a nice guy, but not a CEO - Little experience and it shows, and hurts - SO much turnover in the past at senior levels, When you get a great person it's like waiting for the shoe to drop. With so many options, hard to put up with not having a voice. - A few "coasters" - Great ideas and "innovation" stifled when team has to follow whatever whim the CEO has
