Pros
- Good work-life balance - Opportunities to use my skills to serve the underprivileged - Empowering juniors with knowledge and critical thinking
Cons
1) Leaders’ lack of understanding of operational processes, and unwillingness to learn about them – resulting in wastage of resources (time, cost, man-hour), delay issues, work quality issues, team morale issues, etc. 2) Unclear expectations and vague instructions given by Leaders, and constant change of focus and direction makes it difficult for employees to complete a task with confidence. Employees constantly have to guess what factors the Leaders consider important. This also results in confusion in roles and responsibilities, and accountability issues within team members. 3) Lack of accountability in leadership – leaders do not follow deadlines and timelines agreed, resulting in staff following the same culture – not taking deadlines seriously and constantly justifying a delay in delivery. 4) Lack of open communication with leaders to discuss operational and organisational issues.
