Pros

Good place to start, but not to stay.

Cons

Incompetent managers and micromanaging TPMs made SDM managers that won't listen to everyone but whomever kisses their bum. Managers want to enforce leadership principles, but they themselves are unable to. They give great feedback all year, then turn around and, out of nowhere, say the opposite.

Advice to Management

Listen to everyone. Be an example and follow the LPS yourselves. Do not turn around and lie your teeth off when review time comes around just because you had someone disagree with you and your choices.

Have backbone. It is an LP.
