Dennis commented on the outflow of valuable employees from McLaren

The head of the McLaren Group Ron Dennis, commenting on the transition of Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes and the ongoing negotiations with the technical Director of McLaren's Paddy Lowe, who probably would not mind to follow the example of world champion of 2008 year, expressed his opinion about the importance of such qualities as loyalty.
In an interview with the Financial Times Dennis gave to understand that loyalty has always remained one of the most important virtues that are valued in the organization.
"You hurt yourself, you inflict damage McLaren," he said about those who chose to leave McLaren. - We are focused on success, but we do care how we will achieve it. We strive to victories while adhering to certain principles, certain values. If people don't want to participate, want to leave to do something else - well, well".
Apparently, the contract lo expires at the end of 2013, and if he does decide to leave McLaren, it will not be allowed to develop machines for the 2014 year: obviously, in this situation he would have long before the end of the season to go "study leave".
Speaking about the desire of some employees McLaren to go to another team, Dennis used several images associated with the English proverb, which says that "people tend to where the grass is greener": "If they take a garden hose and will succeed and roll the mower, they can easily help to make the grass on the other side of the fence is greener".



Dennis also said that withdrew from Formula 1 in 2009, passing the reins of the team Martin Whitmarsh and fully engaged in the development of the automotive division of McLaren.
