Kansas City Star | 10/10/2002 | Head of Aquila reiterates desire to hear from employees via Metafilter
I admire and respect this guy; when it's a choice of telling the truth or shutting up and keeping your job, most people -- including me -- shut up. We shouldn't; fair criticism, and even kvetching, build stronger systems, including and especially in business. But when CEOs decide to fire people for saying what's on their mind publically (or even in a relatively non-public way) the company slides downhill. Grow up, learn to listen to criticism, learn to judge the intelligent critique from the biased or nonsense complaints.
