    I think Eleanor Shellstrop captured it best:

    Yeah, in America everyone DOES whatever they want, society DID break down, it’s terrible, and it’s great! You only look out for number one, scream at whoever disagrees with you, there are no bees because they all died, and if you need surgery you just beg for money on the Internet! It’s the perfect system!"

    I’m a parent and do not agree with this approach. Everyone should behave in public - and kids should practice so they can learn. At home, my kids get to behave like animals and we do things where they can behave like kids, like trampoline park, zoo, the arcade, etc. When we are out at places where the kids should behave, we bring them iPads and headphones so they are able to make it through the activity. But it is just rude to let your kid intrude and ruin a dinner, museum, movie, etc for others.

    Sure thing! Here are some other thoughts your survey brought to mind:

    1. I think of business culture as the way people behave when a leader isn’t there giving direction. So, sota in line with your perspective. But unlike the culture of a country, I think a business’ culture is defined by behaviors (as opposed to beliefs).

    2. In the last 40 years, public corporations have focused on profits and shareholder value. But I think it is a huge mistake to ignore the other groups the business impacts and influences, such as their customers, their employees and the community they are in. My perspective is that unless all of those things are looked after, the business will become terrible over time (Boeing is like a case study on this).

    3. Not mentioned in your survey, but a pet peeve is the lack of development and mentorship of staff. Most teams could be so much stronger with the right support, oversight and development. But it requires a lot of elbow grease, which managers and leaders are unwilling to put in. To me, this is so wrong it boarders on unethical. But, at least in the US, it is pervasive across businesses.

    I have so many thoughts stirred up by this survey. Here’s just 1: some companies don’t benefit from consultants because they are the unwilling or unable to implement their recommendations - not because the recommendatios are wrong. Honestly, most big companies hire consultants to blame their poor results on - and for that, consultants are totally worth the cost. Happy to share more if you would like - just message me.

    Usually not at all. More recently, the polical influence on our economy is that impacting everything from hiring (we were gonna hire, but now we aren’t) to investing in the business (we think we need to store cash because a downturn is looming). Apparently it is difficult to improve an economy, but one can be wrecked in 45 days.
