Talk, But No Action
Talk, But No Action
A lot of talk about wanting to improve the place.
No actions on the real problems. Internal communication is lacking. Underinvestment in a lot of key projects. Too much focus on getting more bookings, not building tools to support any of it.
Stop being defensive when told about a problem. Just the fact that it is mentioned is a sign there is something.
You don’t know what you are doing: admit it, and things will go better from there.
Force every announcement to be public by default.
If you want to know what’s wrong, ask people’s opinion more than once a year.
