"Pourquivons sur notre série d’article sur la Génération Y et l’innovation Managériale avec L’individualisme. Il est assez fréquent de reprocher à la « génération Y » son individualisme.
Mais qu’entend-on par là ? Il règne une certaine confusion entre « égoïsme », « égocentrisme » et « individualisme »."

"Are the future of work and the future of management inherently democratic? Will we have democracy or rather an enlightened aristocracy? The point is not theoretical or philosophical for its own sake. The question has a deep resonance in how organisations structure themselves, how workers understand themselves, but most importantly, how workers engage with the organisation."

  • In one sense, a truly democratic organisation is a recipe for a disaster.  Studies have shown that the more people involved in a decision, the worse it becomes. 
  • Thus, decisions may be made by a few, but scrutinized and ratified by the many.  In that sense, one can say that organisations can be democratic.

"As business leaders pick up the post-recession pieces, I'm increasingly asked how companies can restore trust with employees. My answer: only by instituting new talent management approaches that reflect the reality of today's relationship between employees and the corporation."

  • Bottom line: the organization should not implicitly promise protection and care that it realistically can't and won't provide.
  • These vestiges of organizations' former commitment to long-term protection and care aren't consistent with today's reality. They just don't make sense.

"Nine years ago, when I launched The Energy Project during an economic boom, it was nearly impossible to find senior leaders open to the idea that demand was exceeding people's capacity, and that it was critical to the bottom line to teach employees new ways to manage their energy more skillfully."

"It's rare a singular metric like turnover or a customer survey score is by itself a good measure of an organization's performance. Most of the more meaningful measures on dashboards of executives today are indices, made up of three to five submeasures. I review the nine most useful and creative performance measures I have seen in government and business organizations over the last few years."

"La lecture de la semaine, il s'agit d'un article du New York Times transmis par une aimable correspondante. Il s'intitule : "La domination de la nouvelle idéologie du groupe", et on le doit à Susan Cain, auteure d'un ouvrage sur la question intitulé Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking (Silence : le pouvoir des introvertis dans un monde qui n'arrête pas de parler)."

Et, selon les travaux de deux psychologues, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (Wikipédia) et Gregory Feist, les gens les plus spectaculairement créatifs, dans des champs très différents, sont souvent introvertis – juste assez extravertis pour échanger et avancer des idées,

  • Human resource executives can help their organizations use teams more effectively by providing resources for team leaders to deal with friction, dissension and dissatisfaction head on. When this happens, teams not only produce outstanding results but also unleash the creativity of team members and build commitment to the organization and its goals.
  • Lack of support for a team culture. This shows up in various ways, all of which are damaging. For example, management "empowers" the team, but still demands that everything be cleared through senior leadership, or management refuses to decrease other responsibilities for people participating on the team.

"Comment concilier le souci d'efficacité économique avec l'exigence de démocratie ? Comment se fait-il que nous acceptions d'être dirigés au travail d'une manière que nous refuserions au-dehors ? La démocratie a-t-elle sa place dans l'entreprise ? Est-ce une utopie ?"

"Companies are increasingly adopting social media technologies, using Facebook to reach out to customers or YouTube to demonstrate new products. These are good first steps, but there is so much more that “social” has to offer. Social media is just one dimension of today’s social business."

"We announced the winners of the Management 2.0 Challenge (the first of three legs of the HBR/McKinsey M-Prize for Management Innovation) here last week. Those seven entries offer compelling evidence that the undergirding principles, social structures, and social technologies of the Web not only offer up winning business models, they are the building blocks of a new management model for making organizations more resilient, inventive, and engaging.

Here are just three lessons from our management innovators about leveraging social technologies to create truly social organizations:"

management management2.0 M-Prize trust

  • Trust your people with the future of the company
    For all of the talk about empowering, involving, and engaging employees, why is it that so many organizations still tap into just a sliver of what individuals have to offer? According to Management 2.0 Challenge winner Jim Lavoie, it’s because too many leaders focus on what they can get out of their people rather than entrusting them with the future of the company.
  • James and Bobby Fishkin argue in their winning hack, The Deliberative Corporation, that it’s not enough to listen to the crowd, it’s crucial to equip it. The Fishkins have developed a powerfully practical approach—including balanced briefings, moderated discussions, and expert testimony—to taking the bias, politics, and knee-jerk emotions out of decision-making in order to get at “what the people would think if they were thinking.”

"Now businesses and organizations are seeking to adapt to the Social Web and incorporate this big switch in human behavior and cultural habits into their operations and strategies. At IBM — and consultancies such as Dachis and Altimeter — this new stratagem is often referred to as “social business.” It entails more than just business use of social software and networks for external purposes such as marketing. In the fuller view, social business is about re-shaping organizations to become more collaborative, communal and capable in fostering human relationships. Not surprisingly, such a new frontier is right in the wheelhouse of the strategy & transformation consulting services offered by Global Business Services (GBS), the part of IBM I work in."

  • our relationships (with colleagues and customers) are forged on trust, a shared sense of purpose and a willingness to share and build on each other’s ideas. In this sense I think you could say that a social business strives to be a much more human (and humane) kind of entity.
  • On this score, my informal social contract with IBM is pretty great — I’m not just able to devote time and energy to strategic sharing and innovating in social media, I am generally recognized and rewarded for leading by these examples.

"Dans l’exercice de communication qu’entreprennent les entreprises sur le web il existe bien entendu les initiatives de digital marketing sur les produits et services qu’elles délivrent, mais il y a aussi l’ensemble de la démarche de communication corporate tels que l’e-reputation, le marketing RH et la marque employeur.

"Trust makes networks work. When trust is high among members of a network, there’s a wonderful cohesiveness and capacity to get work done. When trust is low and relationships are plagued by suspicion, networks collapse into brittle organizational structures that rarely offset their operational costs in real world outcomes."

  • People who trust each other more easily forgive each other for the bumps that inevitably arise from working together. That’s network resilience
  • When people trust each other, it’s easier to respond to change in a smart, coordinated way. That’s network flexibility.
