Business Outlook
Pros
Some camaraderie and fellowship exists among rank and file . . .
Cons
. . . but that camaraderie and fellowship are undermined by "differentiation." • Gospel of author and former GE CEO Jack Welch followed insofar as it empowers directors to carry out their personal agendas with no repercussions • "Cultivate the strong and cull the weak" (Welch's words) can only take place when an organization can effectively identify the strong and the weak; Melaleuca does a terrible job of doing that and rankings are a popularity contest • No women in executive leadership • No minorities in executive leadership • Right-wing political propaganda at mandatory company meetings • Non-LDS at disadvantage for advancement
