Open letter to the top executives
Although I don’t agree with all the issues raised in the post (or more precisely, I would have included other issues and dropped some of the mentioned), it is a good reading. However, topic number one I fully support:
Don’t spend millions of dollars to try and change your culture. Corporate culture is a natural thing that cannot be manufactured. No amount of posters, incentive programs, PowerPoint presentations or slogans on websites will affect the hearts and minds of your employees. If you want to see things change immediately, stop acting like an asshole. If you see one of your senior managers acting like an asshole, ask him to stop. If he doesn’t stop, fire him. You will be amazed at how fast the culture shifts.
You may wish to leave a from your own site.
