“…it’s doubtful if the Brits will relate much too it either as we have a fairly low bullshit threshold! And the rational Dutch certainly wont – try it on a Delft engineer!”: “Top managers in Shell and aspirant top managers are a well-educated and talented bunch. They don’t believe that business can be helped by the sort of platitudinous nonsense that has been promulgated under their CEO’s name.“
COMMENT BY A ROYAL DUTCH SHELL RELATED SOURCE ON PETER VOSER SUPERBUCKETS LEAKED MESSAGE
SUPERBUCKET motivational message from Shell CEO Peter Voser
Shell has for two or three decades had a predilection for the type of message that Voser is pushing out today. Really there is nothing new – just a reassembly of platitudes along with some new buzzwords. In my experience in Shell this sort of thing had no effect at all on behaviour or performance. The driver for it was probably British consultants who were given a brief to raise morale and encourage staff. It’s worth pointing out that less than 5% of Shell employees work in the UK and these would not naturally respond to English language and Anglo-Saxon nuanced statements of this sort. Indeed it’s doubtful if the Brits will relate much too it either as we have a fairly low bullshit threshold! And the rational Dutch certainly wont – try it on a Delft engineer!
