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 executives in her company, stating, "The performance culture of the past was not sufficient for the performance of the train, we want to change that", according to the "Welt am Sonntag". She noted that more energy was spent explaining the problems than solving them, describing it as "something like organized irresponsibility.
It must belong to the past." Upon taking office last year, Palla initiated a corporate restructuring that includes streamlining the central management and shifting responsibility to the grassroots level. "We have eliminated many levels in administration. But this alone does not make for a better train. Change will only come about when management changes, when responsibility is also perceived and lived in the decentralized units," she added.
"Performance starts at the top - first with me, then with the management board. We are the first level that must embody and demonstrate it," Palla highlighted.
