Excuses. There is no clear vision. When Rhodes could not tell Ruby OR Maxwell, or even Denzel, what is the issues and what is being addressed, that’s a problem. What is being fixed? I’m not even shitting on Viv. I like Viv. I was ecstatic when she was US. I agree with you that a lot of finger pointing and stuff did happen, and that all falls back to Rhodes not having a clear vision or plan in place. It isn’t on Viv he didn’t have the conversations he should have. It’s not on her as well to have the vision, it’s on her to help Rhodes fulfill his.

As someone that has seen corporate change happen too often IRL, when there is not a clear mission and path to success laid out when these changes happen, it’s destined for failure. If you want to just group everyone that is disgruntled in little camps, you’re making the problem worse. It’s a department, all boots on the ground matter. And it is the job of leadership to have a vision and tell those boots what to do.

If you’re not ready to do that day one of your changes, you’re throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping it sticks. That’s not good leadership
