1. Lack of Strategic Alignment & Listening:
- Leadership consistently fails to incorporate input from client-facing teams, despite their critical insight into customer needs and pain points.
- Time is spent in meetings filled with vague "could be" and "might be" discussions, with no actionable outcomes or strategic direction.
2. Trust & Accountability at the Executive Level:
- There is a pervasive lack of trust in the C-suite due to repeated failures over the last 18 months.
- Executives avoid accountability, often gaslighting support, sales, and product teams instead of initiating meaningful change.
3. Leadership Issues in Customer Success:
- The current Director of Customer Success, Miguelina, lacks the product knowledge and leadership skills necessary to lead effectively in a start-up centric environment.
- Her management style is driving away experienced and high-performing team members, worsening internal instability.
4. Neglect of Product Improvement & Talent Retention:
- The company relies heavily on a few top performers to maintain outdated and problematic products.
- There's minimal investment in product innovation or employee development, which further discourages retention of skilled talent.
