DB CEO Palla Criticizes 'Organized Irresponsibility' in Deutsche Bahn Management

Deutsche Bahn's CEO Evelyn Palla has criticized the management of the state-owned company, describing it as exhibiting 'organized irresponsibility'. She believes that important decisions were often made centrally without those responsible bearing the consequences of their implementation. Palla also noted that failures to meet targets were often explained away rather than addressed. She aims to change the performance culture of the company by decentralizing responsibility and focusing on solutions rather than problems. Despite these efforts, Palla admits that punctuality will remain difficult in the near future due to ongoing disruptions and construction sites.
