Toxic Culture. Horrible Leadership

Companies rot from the top down, never from the bottom up. It’s the leaders words and actions that create the company culture. This has been a long time coming at novo. It’s not a coincidence that most people say this was a different company 10 years ago. They have had the wrong people in the wrong places for 10+ years and they continue to promote more and more incompetent people.

And it all started with Jesper and then Doug Langa. The most unqualified idiot leader in all of Pharma!

you just transitioned from leaders who cared about people to ones who only care about numbers. That’s the danish culture, but it took a while to make it happen in the US. Martin Soeters and Jurek Gruhn cared about people. Doug has been a puppet from day one, which is why the Danes love him so much and why he is such a fucking asshole. This is NNI, and it’s here to stay.

Don’t know a single Dane who thinks Doug knows what he’s doing. It was a dumb, rash decision that has begotten more dumb decisions.

Of course he doesn’t know what he’s doing - that’s why they love him. They can pretend that they have an American in charge, and then just tell him exactly what to do every step of the way. Do you remember when Lars made the announcement and said as much? He’s their puppet.
 




I actually thought he was a douche but you guys are making me feel sorry for him. Must be torture to live in that world and also incapable of even asking a question during a townhall that isn’t written down on a card for him. A puppet to the Danes and a puppet inside NNI to whatever the communications team tells him to say or do.

Truth, this! But I get angry when people imply that leadership was better 10 years ago. There is a reason that there was a long line of senior leaders from that era being shown the door, unceremoniously.
