Culture of fear with high turnover in leadership

Plant manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

New CEO, driven by lack of substance - process over content. Concepts like Gemba hyped and used an instrument to downplay past success which led to 3x growth in company. DBS playbook, where Danaher hasn’t grown ITSELF touted as the next engine. Culture of fear

Cons

Said above - heavy political environment. Very heavy turnover of senior execs. Understandable somehow you need to convince that future is better than past by coming up with concepts like DBS that create internal focus rather than external competitive focus. Yearly improvement vs actual market leading progressive.

Johnson Controls Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us as a Plant Manager. We’re committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace where our core values of integrity, collaboration, and innovation are lived out. We apologize that you had a negative experience with us. Your input will be shared with the appropriate individuals to address your concerns.
