Does anybody else see the hypocrisy in having the CIO explain how private equity is going to "save" Staples but not addressing how we got to where we are.
I mean for someone who has been in upper management since 1992 in Staples, there is some serious ownership issues in the decline of the company over the past 20+ years.
A tiger doesn't change it's stripes (an homage to her undergrad years) so unless our new Sycamore partners are willing to talk to the "doer" level to reinvigorate creativity and uncover the truth, stop the talking down from the management level, remove the blockers of the command and control mentality, obliterate the culture of blame, silos, and promotion based on longevity rather than merit, things will still be "business as usual" at Staples.
In short Sycamore, we the doers, have no faith or trust in our current leadership and we look to you to re-instill it by speaking with us directly and not through current leadership as they do not speak for us.
