Bingo! Give them the tools and procedures to be the "best." If they refuse, won't, or can't after a few tries, show'em the door.
At 87,000 employees, it's big and cumbersome enough. Factor in the "bad juju," it becomes near untenable. There's no sense in delaying what will likely be an employee "winnowing" process (also known as the good kind of "revolving door" of change, "out with the old, in with the new," etc.) over the next several years.
I haven't decided just when I will "winnow" yet. God knows I'm old enough.
