That's all great but I think it is seldom practiced! Some of the things that management say, for example the "open door poicy," has been so used and abused that it no longer means anything. Yet management still clings to these tired old clichés as though people take it serious anymore. Then management wonders why people are not motivated.

Great post! One of my insights after working at Google, talented people don't need to be managed.
