Pros

Cons
  • Lower management and higher-ups mix messaging with deliveries.

  • It's hard to get promotions.
Advice to Management

Synchronize with all levels of the company. It may be a good idea to audit performance objectives to ensure leaders are not writing conflicting messages that could jeopardize product timing and quality.

The customers are the ones who suffer the most.
