企业需要打破组织竖井（Enterprises need to break the vertical organization） Enterprises need to break the organization shaft Everyone loves to hiss at corporate villains, especially during scandals. 5 years ago, the object of ridicule was the evil of the banking industry. Then, when British oil (BP) had a terrible oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, people became more anxious and sought out who was the villain. Now, people are starting to target, this time GM.

He said GMs cultural and organizational structure was so bad that employees were unable to deliver key messages to each other or to take responsibility for defects.
