…most ‘incompetent’ folks do not get fired and are very, very good at remaining ‘sticky’ wherever they go…and there is a very good chance that you are already working with (or worse, reporting to) one of them…

…Industrial age management is convinced that they can ‘create’ the ‘right’ people by instilling ‘motivation’ in their employees – by having monthly bar-be-ques and throwing a ‘bone’ here and there in the form of incentives…how about developing a self-sustaining culture that ensures employees are NOT ‘de-motivated‘ instead of (spending your time and money on) giving lip service to the concept of motivation?…no one can ‘create’ the right people – whoever told you that ‘motivation’ and ’sincerity’ and ‘dedication’ and ‘commitment’ and ‘effectiveness’ and ‘efficiency’ and all the ‘good’ things that we love giving lip service to everyday can be ‘taught’ to and/or ‘instilled’ in the ‘right’ people; lied to you…
