Lets Fire All the Managers
Already statute title is caching our attention First, Lets Fire all told the Managers. Intriguing start changes in the inclining of charges against the modern management system. The author is showing his critic for complicated system, where we live with hundreds of managers in various level. He lists three of import problems. As eldest is the costs of management which is very(prenominal) expensive. At second he shows that common management hierarchy increases the risk of calamitous decisions with bad judgment. And as thirdly multitiered management structure systematic eachy disempowers lower-level employees.For all this three he is gravid manakins to make sure that readers will understand the problem. After that in that respect is a lot of information about how this system is over utilisation and how the place of work is organized. So now we have question. Wouldnt it be considerable if we could action high levels of coordination without a supervisory superstructure? To confirm theory author is freehanded very strong arguments by describing new management lay called self-management which is in use at Ameri tail fraternity morning time sense impression.There be no employees, there are only colleagues which are taking private responsibility for what they have d unity. And each person is at the same level. So if there is any problem other colleagues going to help to subside it. There are no managers all the decision are do in the group of employees Around here, nobodys your boss and everybodys your boss. To be sure that each employee now what he is doing and what bod of opportunities stand in front of him there are management courses , seminars which provide necessity information.As author is showing company have got only colossal achievement and there is only few small disadvantages. He is boastful very strong arguments about almost utopia institution where everybody are happy. Everything sounds entire but is it real? Using the G oogles I found Morning Star company. One of the best, worlds leading tomato piece processor. And as author shows, they have got self-management system in use. As a founders of the new system they create website Self-management Institute which provide all necessary information about new system .Self- heed is an organizational model where functions of a manager (planning, coordinating, controlling, staffing and directing) are pushed out to all participants in the organization as opposed to a select few. From that website we can read the master(prenominal) issue of new system, which is self-directed work teams, employee empowerment, distributed decision making, flattening the organization, elimination of bureaucratic red tape . All of that is already successfully working in Morning Star company. To be sure author of clause Gary Hamel , judge to check on his own that system.What he saw was very truehearted developing company where without raze one manager, people working very effic iently. And the most important is that they know what they doing and feel responsible for that. They are oftentimes loyal and are better judgment because they are not need of context and understand the facts from the ground. System, called pancake-flat, is not complicated, because there are no bosses. only if who is making the giving decisions? Giving power to everybody is scary, danger, for sure there must be individual responsible more than others. Summary.How can a big company survive without structure? For company similar Morning Star where from the beginning the main system was self-management and all the structure was already inclined(p) system was easy to absorb. In my opinion it would be difficult to arrange that system in mega companies with 100,000 employees. It would look like a loud instill class with pupils, when teacher left for a moment and everybody doing what they want even when they were said to read book . That is why in big companies there always must be someone who is going to manage a group.It is almost impossible that 100,000 employees will work efficiently without manager. Self-Management gives a great deal of freedom to colleagues isnt that dangerous? Freedom must be equilibrize with responsibility in any organization. Ofcourse employees need to feel free when they working no one like big pressure and stress on top of work. But if we going to say Feel free, plausibly their going to put their own targets first. If we gonna left them on their own, we will neer be sure if they doing what they where asked for and dont waste our time and money.The company creates an environment where people can manage themselves by making the main mission the boss and truly empowering people. Where everybody are on the same level, and every one are bosses. It is sounds like One for all and all for one. For sure one thing is good in system like that. It is much cheaper without managers which have to be paid bigger salary. Reading this article I started to thing that that was the main problem. And thet is why new system was invented. To pull through the money. In my point of viewself-management system is very intresting and very innovative.By the example of Morning Star company I can assume that it can work. Author is sure that is possible to improve this system in much bigger companies. And with that I can not agree. It can not work everywhere and with every person. It always depends on the place (where company is), kind of company, (it worked in a simple agricultural organization doesnt miserly it is gonna work at New York) and employees characters (there is always leading person and someone who only want to do his job) .
