Oxford - Erasing the org chart

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Is your company bogged down in old rules, levels, and standard operating procedures? What’s the dumbest rule at any company you’ve ever worked for? (Not necessarily your current job.) What one rule gets most roundly ignored in your manual? complained about? Why is it still there, then? What’s the cost of that kind of rule? Why does the rule persist, then?
  2. How do you think our employees feel when we treat them like potential criminals? After all, we all had layoffs in the last couple of years. The people who are left are supposed to be our best and brightest, most trustworthy.
  3. The org chart tells you nothing, only who reports to whom. Most of the middle managers are gone anyway, or are doing two jobs. What does an org chart tell you? What does an org chart NOT tell you? In the last two or three years, we’ve all taken on much greater responsibilities, and have deeply revised what we expect of our employees. I’d submit that who reports to whom is no longer nearly as relevant as what people get done. We’ve slashed our middle management, most of whom are now working managers anyway. http://history.amedd.army.mil/booksdocs/wwii/orgadmin/chart10.gif
