Five Tips For Changing Corporate Culture

1. Don't go too fast. Recognize it can take several years to build a high-performance company.
2. Get back to putting the customer first. As simple as that sounds, companies take it for granted.
3. Don't let your sales force take no for an answer. they should tell clients: "Talk to my boss because I am not authorized to lose this deal."
4. Whack yourself before somebody whacks you.
5. Beware of "clogged arteries" in corporations--like too many VPs.
(Quoted from Motorola's CEO, Mr. Zander in WSJ)
