Change Workplace Environment to Change Employee Performance

I ran across this video today and wanted to share because it applies to my love of Darwinian concepts of evolution to business strategy. In a nutshell, late 20th century business philosophy focused on changing employee behavior to achieve results. It never worked because management was going about it backwards. In Darwinian speak, individuals from any species are subject to outside stimuli and environmental factors. Environmental conditions unfavorable to an individual will result in poor performance and even death. The applies to human individuals in the workplace. An unfavorable workplace environment will harm an employees effectiveness or force them to quit. So stop trying to change the employee. Create a favorable working environment. The rest will take care of itself. If a problem employe is part of the unfavorable working environment, well, that's what pink slips were invented for. Fix it!
