Establishing or changing as required the corporate culture: job of top management. When Bill Gates realized that Microsoft had completely missed the internet, he changed the corporate culture completely in two years. Why? Gate is a competent manager. For one thing, he comes from where the work gets done.
Cited elsewhere is an article from the NYTimes. Rather than learn corporate culture is not changing and rather than learn that management has serious ethics problems, instead top management cuts off further data to the study AND closes down the ethic office. What kind of management is that? Incompetent? Naive? Ineffective? Lying? Choose one. They and others could possibly apply. Bottom line is that DOJ still has a serious top managment problem. Too many facts just in that one article say so. But then my conclusion is based upon many other cited problems also directly traceable to who? Top management.
What is the job of top management? Attitude and knowledge. They establish the corporate culture (attitude) AND they verify that everyone has sufficient knowledge to perform their jobs (knowledge). To learn whether they are doing both was a study from Syracuse. Only a myopic top management would shoot the messenger - quash future studies - not want to hear what is really happening. Oh yeah. This is the same guy that also fears naked statues. No wonder he fears the naked truth. Which are more important - FBI ethics or John Askcroft's ethics.
Its all about top management.
