Following are my thoughts on question “Employees don't change the company, they change their Boss.?” in in Linkedin
Job shift is a personal decision influenced by curious combination of background, personal needs, skill sets, aspirations, and environment. Environment includes the organization, boss and team. Attributing to just one of the factors is too narrow perspective.
My view and experience is: Organization stands by (and should) its vision, culture, values and goals. Individual stands by (and should) its vision, culture, value and goals. That is fair as well, as these are not matter of convenience but rather goes into the core of being. After all, I think, most (if not all) of us have been in both the roles, right?
I have not seen bad people but I have seen them appearing bad due to circumstances.
What goes wrong is getting a honest communication taking place. If it does, know for sure that you are on a slippery ground.
