Director of Transformation

Quote







That’s sounds like the world’s worst job.
Expectation and responsibility for sorting out and stopping the bad behavior of truly terrible and incompetent C level execs like Steven’s and Tillet - with the level of a “Director” so no power to do anything or have anyone listen to you. Recipe for high blood pressure and a miserable existence before they are sidelined and fired in a year - good luck.

This company has been transforming for the last 7 fucking years… at what point do we transform the current leadership out and bring competent people in?

No one competent is going to sign up to lead this Organization as-is at an exec level. Financial fundamentals aren’t there to entice someone legit to jump over. Yet Another clue that the end game is sell off.

With a high enough pay package and a long enough runway I am sure you can. But with PE trying to get on the board and activists investors they will try to push for someone who will self-off assets or a merge with a much larger organization where the company ceases to exist

This place "transforms" so much because leadership doesn't know how to change culture. Remember the ridiculous "agile" training? They told us over and over that we need to be more "agile", then made everyone attend 4 trainings on "agile" behavior, and that's it. Then they started making everyone do sprints and all that other bullshit. That's not going to move the needle at all.

That's not the first time around that racetrack of idiocy, either. Remember DAI, or TAO? I'm sure there are more that I'm forgetting.

After every one of those stupid initiatives, everyone just kept acting like normal but within whatever new, half-baked framework. Everyone trying to become gatekeepers and exercising their power over every possible decision because they all know deep down that they're substandard in abilities, and the power they're clinging to is the only thing keeping them from becoming useless.

You can't change the culture of an org this big with some hollow words and 4 trainings. They just simply do not know how to effectively lead.

DAI still exists. Add HCI to the pile of acronyms
 












Remember when there was a big reorg / layoff coming one fall but someone officially let it leak in Q1, so everybody knew and leadership knew everyone knew.

So they branded it "Transformation" and tried to placate everyone by holding regular town halls, which only served to stoke fear and doom about the impending layoffs.

That's leadership at Kenvue in a nutshell: incompetent, tone-deaf, and idiotic.
