Promote the Practitioners, Remove the Resisters

“always remember the mantra: promote those who do, remove those who do not.”

“Study it, as you are doing now. Read everything you can. Talk to others who have tried it, whether successfully or not. •   Make implementing this culture the Schwerpunkt. This means that all the other activities of the company must support implementation. Personnel policies, outsourcing decisions, accounting methods—all activities must be evaluated not only on their own merits, but also on how they affect unity, cohesion, trust, mission concepts, intuitive competence, and so forth. At first, questions like these must be agenda items at virtually every meeting. As you become proficient, consideration of the impact on culture will become implicit. •   Promote those who study, embrace, and use it. •   Remove those who do not, no matter how good their numbers.”
