When Leaders Ignore the Writing on the Wall

The Challenge

Initial survey exposed a widening disconnect between a closed, “in-the-know” top team and the rest of the organization—amid rapid market disruption.

The Transformation Journey

Signal 1

Organizational Effectiveness Drops

Low effectiveness, eroding trust in the future, and a demotivated R&D function.

Signal 2

Trend Gets Worse

A year later, engagement deteriorated further. We recommended decisive leadership change.

Ignored Data

Predictable Outcome

Advice dismissed; five years on, stock down ~80% and large-scale redundancies.

The Results That Matter

Data told a clear story—leadership chose not to act.

Cost of inaction: severe value destruction and job losses.
