One of the problems is the top-heavy leadership structure, which has caused a lack of clear direction and communication. Restructuring frequently has caused priorities to shift as your new manager is not aligned with your previous manager. This has caused a disconnect between what upper management wants and what was actually talked about or is feasible for the team to deliver. We also have poorly defined criteria for the work being done. Often tasks are given without a clear understanding of what was expected or what success will look like.
