If only Gulfstream executives were reading... Here is what we need to do in this company:
- Stop adding new processes: There is a trend in this company to add new processes or new tools to improve stuff, while instead, they should fix the underlying reasons of the problems. We get 6s lean sharepoint, blablabla but it just adds more complexity to problems.
- Stop adding management.: There are departments with more leadership positions than action takers.
- Stop useless meeting: why doing meeting when no action has been taken ? Stop this waste of time and go do the job.
- Keep productive people. Fire the ticks: There are some people just spending time at Gulfstream. Clocking in and out. Get them out. And typically, they are people that brings the moral down by gossiping. OUT.
- Communication: Talk about successes and failures. Mark Burns talks about headwinds during the all-hands then moves on to diversity and inclusion. Instead, talk about the action that will have to be taken with the headwinds. There will be no inclusion since you'll have to fire people anyway.
- Stop reinventing the wheel: There are actual professional outside the company for training and other things. Stop creating something inside the company. Bring the expert and get people trained. Stop acting like we are in a silo.
All this messed up layoff would not happen if we had fined processes right off the bat.
