Changing the model of relationship within the company
We are living increasingly under pressure from a system of relationships between people, between departments, agencies, in which the preponderant value is competition. The cooperation is conspicuous by its absence.
Large companies manage people in a way that promotes competitiveness and results will not benefit people or the organization. This form of relationship, far from providing a positive value for the company, is the cause of increased inefficiency.
A company is a network of individuals, groups, departments, suppliers, partners and people with a strong interdependence, working (or should) to achieve a common purpose.
Although the efforts of each group in a company have a strong relationship with each other, these efforts do not add up in the same direction if there is no cooperation for achieving common purpose.
There are fears, selfishness and individualistic for that far from promoting the improvement of the organization, create artificial competitive to get returns individual. It also can camouflage incompetence creating competition among members of the team itself-as they fight a danger I presume.
Each group has its own objectives and pushed to the limit, to reach another group and can eventually destroy the company. If the purchasing department is required to reduce the "cost" of purchases as a percentage, this will in itself against production goals and customer. The purchasing department of a company can easily meet a goal of saving money from the "first cost" resulting in great losses from the warehouse to the customer, ie, to the detriment of the company.
Compounding the situation, large companies difficult to manage, distribute reorganize some of its areas as "profit centers." When the components of the company reach levels of selfishness, generally motivated by the management style, its members are pure competitors, and finally the independent profit centers do not cooperate, has planted the seed of greater inefficiency and destruction of the company . It's just a matter of time.
The solution is to promote cooperation. But this requires a management style that promotes this cooperation, and this requires that management understand and know explain the purpose of the organization and the plan is to achieve (if any). That the achievement of common purpose, will be good for all and to all individuals. The individual or group objectives should be removed because they are the first obstacle, a real barrier to cooperation.
A good analogy is an orchestra. Should be composed of the best musicians. Long periods of trial, under the tutelage of director, to immerse themselves in a collaborative effort and achieve a purpose: a good symphony.
But what if every musician would like to highlight?. The failure of the symphony orchestra and poor. This is where it leads the way egocentric and competitive relationship that is being promoted in enterprises.
business
Symphony sounds worse every time.
