Important work spoiled by inability to manage

Business Outlook

Pros

The services provided are very important for the country and those residing in it, which makes you feel the work is very worthwhile.

Cons

The senior management seem incapable of learning how to lead the organisation at a time of financial stress. They expend their energy on transformations which seem to ignore the delivery demands, justified on grounds of cost savings but probably not achieving even that.
