I've had experiences of senior executives joining organisations and completely ruining them in 1-2 years.
One exec in particular:
- Made power grabs for other execs' areas, forcing those execs out to other organisations.
- Continually shifted goal posts for key technical staff. In the words of one of these people, this was the primary cause of their mental breakdown.
- Filled positions with his own cohort of sycophants and yes-men from previous organisations.
- Defunded major projects, turning them from promising potential businesses into graveyards.
After just a couple of years, the organisation was a shell of its former self.
- jeffrallen 4y agoIf he brought all his old buddies from Pune, India to join him, I think I worked for him too.
- lupire 4y agoThis is a very common story, not at all specific to one guy from Pune.
- hakre 4y agoSounds like this was the job. And also well executed, 1-2 years is relatively short for that.
- geysersam 4y agoLol imagine having the job of ruining a business as ceo. Waking up every morning, pondering your next destructive act over coffe. What would you do?
- teekert 4y agoPunish people for taking responsibility?
- leaflets2 4y ago> Sounds like this was the job. What does that mean? Sounds to me as if you were thinking that the CEO might in fact have been working for a competitor (I didn't downvote, just curious)
