Bell Atlantic’s Experience

The difference is that in a compliance mode I do what I must do because my boss tells me I must do it. In a commitment mode, I understand what the corporation is trying to achieve and how we’re going to achieve it, and I will do whatever it takes to make that happen, including changing the way I do my job if that is what is required

– p. 196/197

No longer a need to destroy everything - start from scratch

Instead - Flexible approach that can be executed by proven methodologies and principles.
