'Life is hard' because everything has to be worked for, and in analysing the culture of a company it's important to consider that the effort people expend in time and energy is often misplaced, simply because we as a species are not very good at natural equations.

Productivity on the level your company is capable of will come naturally from engagement and alignment with the mission, but it won't appear magically at your feet because you pulled a Directive out of the hat.
