If you are new to the company, you may not experience it initially. Here is a little summary.
- The process is messy, despite having documented policies to follow; however, it appears that management is either unaware or uninformed about it, resulting in a significant amount of time being wasted on trivial matters, which in turn delays the initial sales development process.
- Go through the motions: QBR, business planning, etc. Yes, these activities are necessary and integral to building a successful business. However, only if management reads it, understands it, and decides to provide support whenever needed to move the business forward,
- Weak management: Management appears detached at times when making executive decisions, even though many details were prepared months beforehand, it seems as though meeting or exceeding numbers is not their key priority.
- Eroding team cohesion: Sometimes, it seems that management is not interested in working with people on the ground when critical and objective feedback was given.
