Scottish Government reviews about "leadership"

Lack of leadership and strategy Lack of vision Lack of clear separation between political messaging and priorities and delivery of a public service Senior leadership often too committed to pet projects or spending their money to try and retain budget rather than common sense approaches for delivering value for money for the public

Leadership and communication is lacking

Very bad at managing change, same mistakes are made time and time again. Recently the organisation feels very stretched resulting in low staffing levels in areas because the focus being spread too thinly. Very little leadership from exec team

Can experience some of the typical civil service blockages

complex / inefficient internal process lack of "can do " attitude not people focus poor calibre of senior leadership

Can’t get pay rise unless taking a more managerial/leadership role

Can be stressful at times, not the best leadership either.
