  You can extend this idea also to help teach one of your people how to convince you or their argument. Many people might have a good idea and a bad sales pitch, and that can be a very valuable way to mentor, and even better make sure the best ideas and not best sales pitches make it to the final round

  I worked for a homeland security lab in NJ, witnessing and experiencing myself abuse of some independently thinking employees by management as well as the abuse of quality and statistical science. After the annual employee surveys at both the homeland security lab and its former aviation organization across the street, managers would hold postmortem meetings to identify low scorers and attempt to intimidate them. Apart from contaminating the survey, the survey itself and managerial "analysis" of the results were also problematic. And, the remedies were designed to fail when the management tried to gaslight staff and redirect attention to trivial mattress, as opposed to taking some accountability for their mismanagement and politicking to reinforce and protect their positions. They were deluded, unwilling to accept responsibility for their own failures, opting for a gaslit interpretation and fun and games fixes. No chance at reform when those who need to reform are controlling and unwilling to break their addictive thinking so damaging to the missions.

  @@DavidBurkus What was best thing about the show was that the CEO's/MD's would go back to the head office and tell the senior board of directors that changes needs to be done within the organisation. Some of CEO's/MD's even stated " I have a better understanding organisation and changes need to put into place" . Majority of times the other board members became "yes men" and totally agree with what the CEO's/MD's stated. On occasions the CEO's/MD's challenges the other board members to go "Back to the Floor", to gain a better grasp of the organisations dynamics.

  Sometimes corporate businesses are impossible to work for because they are so rich they lose connection at the lower level. All they are worried about is WallStreet numbers. 5 years ago I was a maintenance guy for Arby's. My owner was a small franchise owner owning about 5 Arby's and he let me fix minor things that's did not require a license. I worked for him for 9 years and then he sold to the Flynn Restaurant Group which owns 30,000 chains, ie Taco bell, Panera bread, Arby's, Planet fitness and more. The regional manager came up to me and said to me that Flynn group does not recognize the maintenance position at the local level, give us your keys and by the way your still an employee, but since your not a manager you do not have any vacation and other benefits either. That shit pissed me off. I refuse to eat at any Fynn group or do business with them to this day.. They had their own maintenance guys who drove from Utah to Northern Idaho (800 miles) just to fix something. I bet the gas cost 500 $ round trip just to fix a wall outlet and a few light ballasts. In the past i would go to Home depot get a light Ballast, 20 bucks go back to Arby's and replace the broken light ballast. Instead this Fynn group decides to spend more money than they needed to. They did not know how good they had it, instead they threw it away ( local maintenance) and opted to spend more money than they needed to. They had their own hvac guys from Utah and all i had was cet electrical certificate. It's like they walked in and said go home we run this show now.

  The problem is that companies want workers who will commit themselves and be loyal…..but Ive yet to work for a company that wants to give that back to their employee. They don’t even see us as human. We are numbers, that make numbers so that the higher ups can take more fancy holidays and buy designer bags….while we have 3 roommates in our 30’s because we can’t afford to live.

  Firing an employee is easy for unskilled work, but if the position is an licensed electrician the employer may take a year to find someone qualified. I would even go as far to say if the position is a senior electrical engineer. It would take 2 years to find someone of that caliber. masters degree in electrical engineer, 5 years experience, c plus , plus, Linux , cad certifications etc... Good luck firing him and replacing him. The employer is better off working with the problem and resolving the issue at hand with the employee. Like i said if you remove the employee the employer might get screwed because i bet there are only less than 1 percent of the job force that chose electrical engineers in all the usa. The rest of the skilled trade are lawyers,doctors,hvac,plumber,framer,electricians,truck drivers. ect...

  To me it can be a healthy outlet, when a team is doing good in general. Been in several teams who did good but we kinda complained about other parts of the org for fun during after works. It felt like a healthy outlet. It's often when people say "I don't wanna complain" that I feel they are seriously pissed about something.

  I really enjoy and engage with your content David. There is a lot of wisdom here that I build on in my own work trying to help organizations collaborate on, and nurture their future. Here in Scandinavia I find that the corporate leadership tends to be... Well I will not say they share my thoughts 1 to 1, but some do listen, they try to understand and try to bounce ideas with me, other leaders, managers, etc. Most of them at the very minimum try (to take their time and go into the granularity of data) to find out why someone (teams/groups) in the company face adversity, and struggle to perform, while others do not. However, I do feel that in many global cultures (this seems to be very much the case in the US from my experience), leaders just look at the numbers, they cut off that branch without a second thought beyond a profitable bottom line, and move on. 10, 100, 1000 employees gone, and in my opinion none are wiser, it is just misery. Personally, I really hope more will take a step back and look at a wider scope, use the wisdom in videos like this and try to better understand... Oh well, this is just one person's ramblings.
