If we can get back to Conscious Capitalism, we can restore an ethical economy. Companies are good things, but should serve the people, not the other way around, and that’s where we got derailed.🤷‍♂️

What’s sad is that executives are paid to be those guiding and providing direction, not the middle managers (their role is to execute the leaders vision, which leaders MUST make clear). So really leadership should see their salaries cut for doing a bad job, not save their salary but completely cutting out their managers.➡️

Unfortunately, leaders never own up to their mistakes and to save face and have a fall guy (or team) they blame and cut ties with those employees who they set up to fail. Without direction from leadership, it’s difficult to show ROI and productivity, because nobody knows what is viewed as valuable.➡️

Why do we see tech layoffs so frequently? Well beyond the fact that there’s a lot of middle management not being very productive, there’s also the bad decision made by leaders that set up that middle management for failure.➡️

Not all leaders are in their position because they're the best; some just happen to be in the right place at the right time, when things go well. Because of this, most companies are operating at sub-par optimization, but this opens the door for opportunity.

Slap a few businesses together and repackage it with a valuation gain for a few billion dollars, easy enough right?🚀📈 I guess as long as you aren’t the one left holding the bag at the end…💰It only works if someone else buys from you.

When it comes to building a company culture, it’s not about catering to a specific generation, but gathering talent that identifies with the company mission and vibe!🤙 Sometimes that’s style is associated with a generation, but the company DNA is what defines it’s culture.🧬
