I'm stuck on the first few paragraphs. It's clear that the author is heavily biased again anything-that-is-not-culture, and therefore gives really bad examples for non-cultural solutions. It's easier to convince everyone you're right when you give the worst possible alternative solutions.

> Incentive: dock pay for people who are late

There are much better incentive-based solutions. For example: - Managers reprimand employees who are frequently late. - Positive incentive for physical meetings: have a nice fruit bowl with just enough fruit so there are no leftovers for anyone who's late.

> Process: make process for creating or executing on a work item so heavyweight that people stop doing simple work

Better process-based solution: every employee has a "big" item that they work on, with planning weeks/months into the future, and syncing occasionally with their manager and/or peers.
