After 40 years working most important thing I learned was: Any firm attracts a certain kind of persons and that right type of person stays on. This very firm, will hold the right type of person and expels the wrong type of person. Wrong type of persons are the ones who do not go along with the way the things work inside the firm. After a couple of decades the DNA of this firm has been purified to perfection. You find there only these people who like the way they are, the who easily understand the ins and outs of the firm, who knows whom should be approached and whom should be left alone. At a early stage see things moving in a different direction and adapt to it. This particular internal culture works at all levels: From the boardroom to the guys checking badges at the entrance. Do not think I worked only in the bush and all my experience comes from those African, S. E Asian countries and Middle East countries: I worked in Siemens Munich and Ericsson Stockholm and with a lot of developed countries' people. Travelled extensively over the world and made friends in many countries. It is not that there has been a highjacking of a GS by a certain type of new leadership and that changed its internal culture, it was there all along. Only that enthusiasm, youth and the changed set of circumstances allowed the employee to see the firm for what it truly was all along.
