It seems to me that the solution to the problem is one which will absolutely never be utilized.
This whole article smacks of the tiresome diatribe managers chant to each other when complaining about their ever-failing employees to one another.
The one thing that 95%+ of the managers I have worked for have had in common is the utter inability to look in the mirror and consider that their behavious is fostering the environment that turns their employees sour.
If you want a team, then try to make people feel like they belong. That each of them matters. If you want loyalty and committment, don't use scapegoats or pass the buck. Take responsibility for the mistakes, not just the credit for the successes. Treat employee's like they are a valuable part of the company instead of one of those EIR (everyone is replaceable) cogs if you don't want them talking about how they could be freelancing...
