    Open letter to CXOs

    Here are the points:
    1. Don't spend millions of dollars to try and change your culture.
    2. Stop running your company like the mafia.
    3. Spend a moment walking around the halls of your company and look at your employees.
    4. Teach people how to get rich like you.
    5. Don't ask for your employees' input if you are not going to listen to it.
    6. Don't train people until you know what problem you are solving.
    7. Ditch the PowerPoint when you have town hall meetings.
    8. Focus on the work people do, not how or when they do it.
    9. Watch the burnout.
    10. Forbid people to work while they are on vacation.

    Ofcourse, all the CXOs are not alike but more or less, you will see more than 50% of what is covered in this article. One thing I don't understand is when new CXO comes; he will bring his buddies and replace existing managers. Why? Why can't he manage without his buddies?
