“The companies that will win in the future will be the ones that are really focused on human beings”
Highlights
Management is one of most important technologies human has invented, and we need to reinvent that technology.Management was really invented to solve the problem on how to turn human beings to robots.Somehow we are satisfied with the same management system of middle 1900.
The job of managers is not to get employees to serve the organization, but to build the environment to encourage people to collaborate and contribute.
“All commitment is voluntary”.
“If you never tell a colleague what to do it will never work with you again”.
We have to destroy the notion of the CEO.
How do you became a management innovator? You have to be willing to challenge conventional thinking.
You have to go to the social revolution on the web to see the future of management.
The assumption is that when you get people more freedom they get less disciplined.
Involvement drives commitment.
The single reason companies get into trouble is when they concentrate responsibility in few people so the organization depends on personal characteristics of that people.
If you had grown up in the internet world:
Every idea should compete in equal condition.
What matters is your contribution not your credentials.
Management is only on doing to simple things
Amplifying human capabilities (the internet has done it)
Aggregate those capabilities (we see that through open source)
The irony is we as individual are already adaptable, innovative and interested but our organizations are not as much.
