How Ideal Is Your Company? – Andrea Ovans – Our Editors – Harvard Business Review.

Goffee and Jones found six common imperatives, which taken together, they suggest, describesthe ideal organization — a place that enables people to operate at their fullest potential by letting them do their best work.

In a nutshell, this is a place where:

  • Differences are nurtured, so individuals can be themselves at work and contribute their unique talents.
  • Information is not suppressed or distorted, so people can find out what they need to know to do their work.
  • Individuals are given meaningful chances to grow, becoming more valuable to the organization in the process.
  • The company is a place where everyone feels proud to work, spurring them to go beyond their stated roles.
  • People’s day to day work makes sense to them, and they understand how their own jobs fit in with everyone else’s.
  • And they are not hindered by stupid rules.

Es importante que las empresas tiendan a este tipo de entornos que estimulan la creatividad y la responsabilidad, pero también nuestras Administraciones Públicas deben seleccionar a su gente y motivarla para que esa estilo llegue a la Sociedad en forma de servicios eficaces y amables.

Desgraciadamente conseguir este tipo de ambientes o culturas, sólo está al alcance de líderes de verdad. Difícilmente nuestros políticos y altos funcionarios, más volcados en sus intereses y en sus funciones y poco preparados para dirigir equipos de personas con rigor y sensibilidad pueden conseguirlo y si alguno lo hace, no durará más de una legislatura.
