My frame of reference definitely reflected what I learned and saw at PMI. Of all of the larger organizations that I worked at, I thought the leadership was the most accessible and collaborative that I have experienced in my career. Culture like that can't be manufactured. It has to start at the top and work its way through the organization. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Thanks Brantlee! My frame of reference definitely reflected what I learned and saw at PMI.

But I was pleasantly surprised at what he learned going undercover in his company. The higher-ups often have no idea what's really going on. It was inspiring, and really gave a glimpse into what it must be like a lot of places. I really like the list you have about what this showed us - people truly do make up your company. And no one wants to be just another brick in the wall!
