Affable young women leaders

How many of these affable, not business savvy PSG 26-29 leaders do we have? Annoyingly, many routinely block their Mondays for extended vacations. They make every school and coaching event. Rarely in the office more than 2 days a week. I swear, it’s like they work part time, dolling out work while away. I’m talking line leadership (B&C) and functions (especially Law!!). Christ!


Right-Sizing Leadership for True Value Delivery

FIS has developed a structure where the ratio of management roles far outweighs the size of the actual technical teams. Over time, this has led to many highly skilled technical contributors leaving the organization, while a significant number of non-technical leaders have been added at the SVP, VP, Sr. Director, Director, and Sr. Development Manager levels. Much of this work could be more effectively coordinated under a strong, technically proficient project manager. In its current state, even senior leaders such as Stephanie may not have full visibility into which teams are truly driving delivery and creating measurable value for the company.


What are the management figures now?

With the org saying they are laying off 500 director levels and above. How many do we have at the moment. In my mind the ratio would be 10 reports to a director. 5 directors to a VP. 5 VPs to a SVP. An SVP would then have 250 subordinates. This is just my made up figures, but I’d be interested to know the real numbers.


Credential inflation is out of control

So many MDs have job postings on their teams for Director or below that require something like an MBA or CFA, yet these same MDs only have a bachelors. I realize this isn’t specific to BNY but as someone in that network I’ve been seeing so much of this lately. As a manager, I don’t care where you went to school - I’m looking at your experiences first and if you interview well and seem like you could fit in. I have an MBA but it hasn’t really been a driver in my career. I wonder how much hiring managers actually pay attention to this.
