Fixing culture is the most critical โ and the most di๏ฌcult โ part of a corporate transformationโฆ In the end, management doesnโt change culture. Management invites the workforce itself to change the culture.
Lou GerstnerIf 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.
Lou GerstnerI don't want to use the word reorganization. Reorganization to me is shuffling boxes, moving boxes around. Transformation means that you're really fundamentally changing the way the organization thinks, the way it responds, the way it leads. It's a lot more than just playing with boxes.
