great co-workers but leadership is lacking - Marketing Manager Ordway Employee Review

Long timers love to say "There is the right way, the wrong way, and the Ordway". Strategic management had internal turmoil, seemingly ganging up on one member of the leadership team and creating chaos for everyone. There was a problematic person who behaved unprofessionally most of the time. Their manager refused to manage that direct report. They told me that was their choice and I would need to accept it even though it was making doing my job incredibly challenging. There was a lot of managing up in this organization for mid-level managers and even administrative staff. DEI initiatives are boxes to check to make major donors and funders feel good about investing.
