What I'm Trying To Do

Technology Has Limitations On What It Can Accomplish. You Do Not.

No Institution Will Go Through Fundamental Change Unless It Believes It Is In Deep Trouble And Needs To Do Something Different To Survive.

If Ceo Compensation Was Performance-driven, Which I Believe It Was In Ibm's Case, Nobody Would Ever Argue. If The Shareholders Didn't Make Billions And Billions Of Dollars, I Wouldn't Make Millions Of Dollars. My Salary Was The Same For 10 Years. It Was All Performance-based.

Until I Came To Ibm, I Probably Would Have Told You That Culture Was Just One Among Several Important Elements In Any Organization's Makeup And Success - Along With Vision, Strategy, Marketing, Financials, And The Like... I Came To See, In My Time At Ibm, That Culture Isn't Just One Aspect Of The Game, It Is The Game. In The End, An Organization Is Nothing More Than The Collective Capacity Of Its People To Create Value.

If The Practices And Processes Inside A Company Don't Drive The Execution Of Values, Then People Don't Get It. The Question Is, Do You Create A Culture Of Behavior And Action That Really Demonstrates Those Values And A Reward System For Those Who Adhere To Them?
