Business and systems architects
got good vision on a critical enterprise data product. After some key decisions,
everyone worked hard and initial few years later, a good product was deployed/operational.
Some wants to make/take it too
great & at the same time, someone in the leadership thought, it is his baby
and want to survive on it for rest of his life. so, he hired incompetent
leaders to manage people.
This led to constantly delivered contributors
are ignored but new commers are promoted. This news alone devastated the key
guys. When they realized, they simply moved on within weeks. Product is still evolving, and this happened. Now
a good product became a mediocre product team and quality issues started (this
is SAD & yet real story of a company which dreams BIG yet makes bad decisions.)
A people leader needs
to inspire, ( worst case stay neutral) else great turns in to shit quickly.
More later....
