The role lacked structure, support, and consistent leadership practices.The good thingsThe opportunity provided clarify on what I value in a workplace.
The experience helped me identify another type of management style and culture.
The challengesThere was a lack of clear direction and role structure, with limited access to the resources required to perform duties effectively. Management capability varied across the organisation, and some leaders appeared to have limited experience in people management or in leading by example.
Significant gaps were evident in training, processes, and onboarding, which made it challenging to clearly understand expectations and carry out responsibilities efficiently. In this environment, employees with less experience or those requiring additional guidance may have found the role particularly challenging due to the limited level of support available.
Workplace professionalism was an ongoing concern, with frequent use of inappropriate language observed among both the staff and management team.
