GK's Disheartening Email

So GK sends an email outlining all the super ideas garnered from surveying 1800 leaders to discuss efficiencies, communication improvements, etc. Is she completely unaware that she is talking to the people that are the problem? Why not take a page out of Jane Fraser's book at Citibank and get rid of the layer upon layer of redundant middle managers that clog up the system here. I mean really, "Bureaucracy Busters," c'mon now. These people you're talking to are the bureaucracy. Get a clue.

@ew she is the fu--ing last person who should be a keynote speaker on innovation. Not only are her public speaking skills horrendous for someone that leads an entire corporation, she has no idea what innovation even means. You have to have money to spend to innovate.

It read like a bunch of word salad. I'm not sure what the messaging actually was.

I’m shocked she’s asked to be a speaker anywhere. Just listened to her on the Q3 call and it sounded like she was slowly, tentatively reading from the script. She didn’t sound confident at all, it sounded like they had an intern doing the call. Guess we’ll probably be spending 2 million on consultants next to make her a halfway decent public speaker.

Jamie Dimon did Bureaucracy Busters in the early 2000s. Hardly a new or original idea.

She’s got a town hall set for 10/31. Wonder if there will be anyone left by then.

So basically she is creating a new team to get rid of layers?

With GK being the top layer, no organization should have more than 4 layers. The fewer layers, the better. I count 8 layers in my area. It's crazy the amount of a-s kissing waste.

Lost me with a shameless reference to some stat from McKinsey & Company, also, no real explanation of which purported banking publication the comments were to shown in, but I'd wager it is some McKinsey newsletter or some other irrelevant gladstone, probably not for the Wall Street Journal or Barron's.

It was a very patronizing email, not to mention she broke her arm patting herself on the back about an article copilot, err, she wrote for a recent publication.
