Pros
Leaders at Nutrien only serve the shareholders to ensure their millions in salary and their own security. Evidence that they could care less about people is based on the facts of people injured, killed, setup to fail, or laid-off from work each year. If leaders at Nutrien cared about people and the customer, they would treat them as key stakeholders before the shareholders. They would help employees set and align goals and support them to achieve their targets, they would understand customer requirements and exceed those requirements to add-value back to the customer. Instead, you get lip service from leaders who look at employees as a cost of doing business and discard them when it is convenient for them and their shareholders.
Cons
I’m big on altruism. But you cannot convince executives that money is not the goal., it is their only goal. Until that changes all hope for change is doomed. Because executives at Nutrien are way too narcissistic, too greedy making millions in salary, and self-centered to ever adopt empathy, building capabilities, empowerment, and creating a continuous improvement culture into the organization. These concepts are so foreign to them even after you explain it, they have no idea why these concepts are important.
