A number of individuals with a petulant and sophomoric attitude with one goal in mind: their personal advancement, grow their fiefdoms, and whose idea of collaboration is to reinvent the wheel and make boisterous demands. This makes for a very difficult culture and work environment. Personal ambitions compromise collaboration and undermine and trivialize attempts at establishing and standardizing processes and procedures. "Us vs. them" inferiority complex, fear of failing and of saying "no", lack of accountability.
