Deutsche Bahn: „Organisierte Verantwortungslosigkeit“: Bahn-Chefin rügt frühere Leistungsmängel im Management
Bahn-Chefin Evelyn Palla fordert mehr Einsatz vom Management und kritisiert die bisherige Leistungskultur als unzureichend. Zugverspätungen bleiben das große Problem.
Deutsche Bahn Chief Evelyn Palla has criticized the lack of performance readiness among her company's executives, stating that "the performance culture of the past was insufficient for the performance of the Bahn, and that is what we want to change," according to "Welt am Sonntag." She emphasized that more energy has been devoted to explaining problems than to their resolution, describing it as "essentially organized irresponsibility, which must belong to the past."
Upon taking office last year, Palla initiated a corporate restructuring that includes streamlining central operations and decentralizing responsibility. "We eliminated many layers in management, but this alone does not make for a better Bahn," she added. "Change will only come when management changes, when responsibility is also recognized and lived in decentralized units."
Palla clarified that "performance begins at the very top, with me first, then with the management board. We are the first level that must embody and exemplify it."
