- Follower mindset with not much emphasis on innovation
- Most people in senior management are in their comfort zone; well settled in IDEA drawing handsome pay and are non-chalant when it comes to channelizing their teams in the right direction (or any direction)
- Highly demotivated middle management disinterested in exploring anything new (stagnant as a result of previous point); those incapable of getting out remain stuck while the talented competent ones are quietly moving out
- Poor compensation (for lesser mortals)
- Flawed appraisal system disregarding employee performance or potential or exceptional additional contribution
