Some of the department managers do not hold the same core values (smart, humble, hard-working, continuous learner) that leadership deems important in its employees. This can be a struggle and counterproductive for growth. This creates continuous road blocks that can prevent employees from really shining in their roles and having the opportunities to do/try new things. Negativity and pessimism breed a lack of productivity and can stunt individual and organizational growth at a time when we need it most.
