Required reading for senior executives:
”Senior managers with good intentions have a handicap:
They possess inherited knowledge from the past which they apply to the present, even though it is no longer relevant.”
”Whether it is intended or not, this sabotages the practice of Lean management, whose intent it is to produce better results for business & society than can be achieved with Classical management.”
Love Bob Emiliani’s response also:
“Money (gain or loss) often puts top management to the test of whether they are serious about something. I suggest you negotiate a compensation package that requires the company to pay you 3 years of salary and benefits if current or future senior management obstructs your efforts - whether termination is voluntary or involuntary. You will need to carefully define obstruction in your compensation agreement. To do that, you can pick items from this comprehensive list https://tinyurl.com/yyevlkag . That way you will feel safe with them.”
