Will things get better? - Anonymous employee Charitable Impact Employee Review

John has struggled for years to find Chimp's path to success, and has been trying out different strategies, and different people on the leadership team to take Chimp there. A number of his attempts have failed: within a few months of being hired, one senior leader had sexual harassment allegations levelled against him by several employees, and it took over 10 months for action to be taken (and he's still working for the company as a consultant). Another senior leader led the firing of 6 effective and long time employees within months of her arrival, with weak reasoning, which created a feeling of mis-trust. And John himself has said to the whole company, that if his [lofty] targets weren't met, he'd have to consider if he's got the right team in place. The latest addition to the senior leadership team has created a divide in the company. His abrasive style has rubbed many people the wrong way with the power struggle as he take over teams and responsibilities, keeps people out of meetings, hires his own people and plants them in key positions, and withholds information. In the last 2 months, a number of people have left including an entire development team, the Art Director, and the VP of Marketing. The team recently provided feedback to management about the issues they had, and the report listed an absence of trust, absent authenticity and transparency, lack of collaboration, inclusiveness, and empowerment. No professional development, accountability for results, or recognition of achievement.
