Executive Accountability in Layoffs
Many executives often fail to examine their own roles when considering layoffs, instead quickly cutting their teams. This disregard for personal accountability can lead to widespread organizational issues. Executives are called to reflect on market trends and their own responsibilities, rather than deflecting blame onto external factors. A shift towards transparency and self-evaluation at the executive level is essential for effective leadership.
