Atlanta: Great employees, lousy leadership. - Consultant Slalom Employee Review

This is John Tobin. Thanks for the thoughtful review that I will share with the Atlanta team. I feel that if the Atlanta leadership team does things behind closed doors, it's probably more just not to burden others and allow our consultants to do what they do best, which is come through for our clients. Still there probably are times when the direct conflict management approach should be taken into account as you state above. As for opening a number of offices, I admit we did stretch a little in 2016, but this was more about finding the right leaders for those markets quicker than we thought we would. It really did not put a strain on our values (nor should it ever) as we had that investment already planned for but in some cases, the clock on the investment started a little earlier. We probably could do a better job in communicating our investment strategy there, but I really would emphasize again, this is not a move away from our purpose or core values - I personally would never sacrifice that.
