Companys are built to fail
Dear readers
I going to write my future blogs in english to reach a greater circle of interest people and to get more feedback to my articles.
Built to fail!
Our business is built to fail, not to succeed. There has always to be one head to fingerpoint, to blame of. Look to the events in the banking world. At no time the company take the responsibility. Always a single person has fired, blamed and merely asked in the public. However everyone knows that not a single person can take the responsibility of a department. But who should then take it? CEO? President of the board? ...
The Problem
The companys are built on distrust. There is for each single task a controller, everything is measured with KPIs. Company goals to reach. There is always the revision in the neck, if we do not that way the revision....
This culture get to the employees. There goal is to satisfy the system, not do a good job. Why should they collaborate? There bonus is not getting higher, if they collaborate successfully or do a great job, there bonus is getting higher if they satisfy the system.
What to do?
Culture change. Give the responsibilty there where it can be taken. To the high qualified employees, they satisfy the system before, should get in charge and take responsibility for what they do. Like the painter who paints your kitchen. Do a great job and be proud of it.
Stop to control everything. Your employees would not get a correct answer anyway! Let the customer decide if you do a great job
If we do not change the culture in the companys, they will be death in administration. The system will not be able to produce everything or not enough to take the head over water.
The agile mindset could help to get there. Take responsibility is the core of the agile mindset. With a excelent collaboration in a team we are even able to be more productive than the added productivity of each teammember. Let do the people a great job.
