Managers often hold on to resisters because of a specific skill set or because they've been around for a long time. Don't.

We know where most of the creativity, the innovation, the stuff that drives productivity lies - in the minds of those closest to the work.

HR should be every company's killer app. What could possibly be more important than who gets hired?

The productivity now at universities is terrible. Tenure is a terrible idea. It keeps them around forever and they don't have to work hard.
people coward appraisal
You got to be rigorous in your appraisal system. The biggest cowards are managers who don't let people know where they stand.
change leadership service-culture
If the rate of change on the outside exceeds the rate of change on the inside, the end is near.
