How can our organization be a little bit more like Pixar, Spotify, Netflix, Zappos, or Virgin? Is there something I can do to get a better company culture? Better team collaboration? Better change management?
#Workout and now its follow-up book Managing for Happiness both offer hands-on exercises, games, tools and best practices to introduce better leadership and better management, with fewer managers. It addresses many common questions, like:
- How can we measure team performance?
- How can we decide on salaries and bonuses?
- How can we define job titles and career paths?
- How can we replace performance appraisals?
- How can we motivate our workers?
- How can we change the organization’s culture?
In modern organizations, people are expected to be “servant leaders” and “systems thinkers”, but nobody explains exactly how to do this on a Monday morning. “Empowering workers” and “delighting customers” is crucial, but it’s not concrete. Managers, and everyone else, need to know “how” because most organizational problems are management problems. Management is too important to leave to the managers!
Today all managers are marketers. You need to sell your ideas, your plans, and your solutions. Management 3.0 sets you on a path to success in a world where we are each responsible for managing our own career and our own contribution to the world.
