We need more transparency in leader surveys

In other companies the employee survey scores are shared with the team, reviewed by higher up managers, get rolled up and are shared with the organization and then further to the company as a whole to show the score over time. That is true TRANSPARENCY.

I've been in a team at Cisco where a terrible manager refused to even show us the results of our team survey (it was always bad, so he was always mad with survey results and our disfunctional team was going around brown-nosing saying they didn't give the bad score - one by one)

Lucky for us he was let go in an LR. But not for being a terrible manager, he was let go for not delivering on business. Our team is healthier with him gone. But we could've avoided so much stress by actually having a way to ensure his bad management skills were more easily known to his own managers.

I had an executive for a year and a half and never showed us the results. He also had 2 all hands. 1 one when he started and 1 when he moved us all to a different org.

There isn't any real accountability once you get to certain level in S&P it seems.

the ELT gets a "report" every day, updated every minute, its called the stock market

sure they should all be replaced, but let's be serious here...if you were a top-tier tech exec, would you even consider taking a position at Cisco?

The surveys of our leader are very bad. However, the leader defends herself: she pretends that it is not reflecting her performances as a leader, but the feeling sof the team within the company.
