Melanie Steinbach (ex-CHRO McDonald's / Kraft / IBM) — 'it's because the system around them made caring expensive'

Melanie Steinbach — Chief People Officer whose career spans McDonald's, Kraft, and IBM as CHRO — reflects on the systems-not-people frame that runs through Incorruptible: people want to do good work; when that instinct gets buried it's rarely because someone stopped caring, it's because the system made caring expensive.

“Throughout my career, one pattern shows up more than any other. People want to do good work. They want to contribute. They want their effort to matter. When that instinct gets buried, it's rarely because someone stopped caring. It's because the system around them made caring expensive.” — Melanie Steinbach on LinkedIn
