“One other thing I learned from working in a company was that the majority of people in the world have no problem following orders. They're actually happy to be told what to do.

If you told them to think for themselves, and make their own decisions and take responsibility for them, they'd be clueless.”

“A world full of "certainties"
All the plans, all the vanities.
Where black covers the white
Suited in "confidence"- the constant fight.
A million roads I dream to take
One destination, knowing not I turn where.
A green veil covers for two years, some two decades.
But the "plan" awaits, new roads to make.
I pant, I struggle, I do my best
While they say,
"You are, dear, but so inadequate".”

“Why did we always say we were going to shoot emails?"
"I don't know. I've wondered that, too."
"Why couldn't we just say we were going to send them? We were just pressing a button, were we not?"
"Not even a real button. A picture of a button on a screen.”

Even when senior leaders try to seek out information, most employees put on a brave face because they’re afraid to show weakness or vulnerability. Top leaders are further handicapped by their own psychology: Research shows that power reduces empathy, which means they identify less with both the frontline employeesâ€� challenges and the middle managers who must deal with these issues daily.”
