Pros
"Regular members" (chapter, network), management team from around the world - chapter managers/directors. Chapter / region / network champions.
Cons
Dysfunctional board. The international board is NOT elected by members. They are chosen thanks to political moves. The board changes their strategy and vision every 2 years, depending of the feeling of the new chairman. Many/most of the board members would not qualify today for YPO, including the Chairmen (they are not CEOs, they do not have large teams), few of them have any experience in running a global business... Rafi/Raymond were on a mission to give the board full leadership and make management "servants" of their strategic and operation decisions - They just laid off all the C suites and an entire department. They created a new rule to keep themselves in a position to influence decisions for another 3 years after they leave the board.... And no one is raising their voice, worried for their jobs (management) or politics repercussion (members)
