Janssen R&D IT Leadership Issue - Heiidi Nolte
Anyone out there run across Heidi Nolte at Boehringer or Janssen?
True that she is a coat tail rider of her boss Georgia Papathomas - who gave her the job - but as a CIO and a VP, there seems little that is neither Chief nor Vice Presidential at all. Uness we speak in terms of Chief Disrupter, that is!
In only 1 year on the job this woman has managed to alienate, piss off and usurp her peers and subs who stand in her way, disagree or do not meet her very silent expectations.
All while probably receiving a fat pay check and bonus and a personal driver for only showing up 3 days a week - if that - while in the midst of it all laying blame on longer tenured leaders for what she thinks does not work while taking credit from others for what does.
This sort of divisive leadesprship at JNJ is startling to see how it can go left un-corrected.
Before the retention issue for great people becomes a snowball, CIO Stuart McGuigan should review and take fast action.
