Most products (including the Freightliner I'm driving) could benefit immensely from that perspective, which is sadly too rare in American business. The whole "Us against them" philosophy is wrongheaded - every person involved should feel part of a team effort, with a common goal, and everyone's input should be solicited, and acted upon, if merited. Mostly, though, suggestions from the workforce are not encouraged, and dismissed without consideration if offered - what a sad comment on leadership that is.
