Great post, Bernd, and one of the first I've read in a long time that reflects my thinking. I agree that employee attitude is key, really it's "willingness". Companies need to invest in employees and groom them when they have this great attitude. And I think that's a problem nowadays. A lot of companies care about the skills only, not the people.

I was reading an article or two on Generation X, which is in its prime right now and probably makes up the majority of the executive workforce and well as many of the small business owners and managers out there. One of the biggest factors to this group is working conditions and company culture. This group is highly skilled and creative thinking, but are willing to work for a little less than some if working conditions are prime--an intellectual or professional challenge, a mission/vision, employee recognition, mobility, perks, schedule flexibility, green initiatives and health and family consciousness in the company, no micro-management, etc. They and most employees want to be treated like people, with consideration, acknowledgement, and respect over super-high pay. I know I feel that way :)
