Working for a similar company in size to Boeing, this list is not unfamiliar. However, I believe that large corporations suffer in not being able to satisfy this list, which results in uninspired rather than inspired work situations.

Large corporations, who are compelled to listen to stockholders and are strongly swayed by stock share prices, usually cannot chart a course for its employees that make it possible for them to deliver results in an inspired way. Charted courses are usually not given enough resources for course completion. Thus, delivering results, finding a way, and setting high expectations for employees usually ends in a Dilbert cartoon.

I really think corporate leaders should be encouraged to not allow Dilbert to become a corporate way of life. When it does this, a major corporation’s behavior-wish list can be obtained.

Thanks for this post!

I love short and simple lists. I would love to learn more about what Boeing's strategy is with their people to hire & retain other people with those traits.

It's one thing for members of leadership to have those traits . . . after all, that's leadership.

How many companies can say that about their employees?
