This is a company with the worst leadership I’ve ever experienced. Siteworx’s CEO speaks a good game, telling the people in one of his communication e-mails that they should work with purposeful intentions and by connecting their Hearts, Mind and Soul. In terms of his own execution, he COMPLETELY disregards his own rhetoric. He operates in his head with grand ideas but cannot bring his ideas into fruition. His lack of execution will be the demise of the company. He is not capable of articulating an idea and then allowing the space and motivating his employees to work as a team to achieve that vision. He operates as a COO rather than a CEO, micromanaging processes and daily tasks, showing favoritism, creating dissention among team members. He fires employees by blaming their lack of abilities rather than his own inability to motivate, lead and enable his people to succeed. He was brought in to make the company a better place. But the company’s morale is at its all time low. The below are examples that demonstrates this CEO’s and Company’s lack of heart and soul:
- When individuals express opinions different to what he believes, he condescends, yells and talks down to them like they are idiots in front of a big group. As a leader, he should use those opportunities to guide, develop and mentor them. His treatment of people borderlines inhuman decency; no heart.
- He leads by trial and error. His lack of leadership is buried by faulting employee’s inadequacies rather his own. He hires and fires without care of impact to people’s lives. He brings people with certain expectations. Then he changes his mind and redefines his expectations for their roles somewhere along the way. When they no longer ‘fit’ his constantly revolving expectations, he fires them at will. This is an unethical operand. He is a ruthless soul.
- As far the soul of the company, it is plagued with poison. There are individuals who possess technical delivery strengths but lacks professionalism, maturity and teamwork spirit. They have been heard to cite ‘let them fall flat on their faces…’ to new team members. These individuals enjoy playing the heroic acts and are tolerated and upheld by the CEO irregardless of how they act and behave amongst their peers. If and when things are not done their way, they push, blame, backstab or point fingers at others when something goes wrong. Rather than provide disciplinary actions, the CEO and company tolerate it, retaining the bad seed and adding to the poisonous soul of the company. Additionally, new leadership team members are added with the similar ruthless attributes of taking credit from others, beating down and unprofessional treatments of employees.
Potential employees, beware. The ship is sinking at this company. There have been multiple layoffs this year, all within a span of 2 to 3 months. The company is down to the bare bone. Potential Customers, beware. They will not be able to scale and deliver. Siteworx will not be around much longer to support you. The company is adding a lot of heavy, high costing overhead positions to control cost rather than adding to the Delivery and Sales team. As people at the doer level are being let go to fund the expensive chiefs , there are no more indians to do the real work. Staffs are overworked and stretched across so many engagements. All the while, being beaten down by ruthless, heartless leaderships, starting from the top. Truly a company with NO HEART and SOUL.
