Advice to Management

Having tools like Pulse is good, provided the intent of it is respected at all levels.

Orientation before Pulse is important.

Understanding the effect of Pulse on junior resources is more important.

Skip Level (5 levels) meetings are necessary.

Please hire good managers and good leaders. Technologies can be learned, but not leadership qualities.

Pulse is a manager feedback process.
