I think this comment sums up what OMX needs to focus on,

Employees in these organizations exist like zombies, seeing work as a means to an end rather than an end in, and of, itself. They are alive on the outside, but they are dying within. I’m sure if you and I interviewed the leaders of these organizations, we quickly would discover the cause of organizational dysfunction — the leader.

Leaders spread either trust or terror and, not surprisingly, most terror-prone leaders think they are trustworthy.

A trustworthy leader is an excellent steward of the organization’s resources by efficiently and effectively achieving the organization’s mission with energetic people who are highly motivated, empowered and supported. In this scenario, the leader is the servant, not the master, and a coach, not a cop.

Dysfunctional leaders who spread terror in their dysfunctional organizations usually experience higher than necessary staff turnover. Unfortunately for those leaders, staff turnover usually is masked by a variety of “good reasons.”

An the 14.00 before 12.00 comment has proved to be incorrect, stock is not worth 14.00 with debt load and forever shrinking sales. Board of directors are all pals with the leadership, so who is watching out for the share holders?
