Too much nepotism: two senior leaders being spouses that report to the same boss cause many conflicts of interests. The wife can go around her boss to do whatever she wants, with her husband’s help. Wife and husband attend xmas with the boss without anyone else in the team. If the wife isn’t qualified to do a job, husband helps her get the job due to having great relationship with the boss. Now if the boss sabotages employees and leaders, and doesn’t know what she is talking about, then she can easily scapegoat others for her own poor leadership. No one can say anything because her boss and husband report to the same leader.
