Adam Neumann on why top-down management fails with great talent: "Top to bottom means you think because someone reports in to you, they have to do what you say." "But it's not true. This is not a dictatorship. They have free will." "If you hired someone, they're really talented, they'll go work elsewhere. The more talented they are, the more the top to bottom does not work. They won't be willing to do it. They shouldn't." "Great talent is not willing to be managed like this." "If you're gonna manage these employees and you wanna attract the best talent in the world, remember that power comes from influence, not control." "If you think they need to do what you said because you're their boss, you've already lost, and it's a matter of time till it doesn't work out. If they're okay with it... they're not the right employee for you, and you're not the right boss for them. There's no chance you're getting the best out of them." @AdamNeumann w/ @StevenBartlett
