Okay I really like the message that is being sent in this article.
But whether it works really depends on the company culture. You gotta remember that for each individual employee, his/her incentive is NOT to do what benefits the company the most. His/her incentive is to do what benefits HIMSELF/HERSELF the most. So it is up to the company to create a culture where doing what benefits the company the most also benefits the individual the most.
For many many companies this is not the case. Due to internal politics or the ego of managers, it is often to the benefit of the individual employee to shut up and do the stupid thing. GIGO you know. Why should I speak up and make the company $100 million dollars, if it means my manager will get mad at me and my raise goes down by 1%?
