Are You Harnessing Your Team’s Full Potential?
“Until 1989, Jack Welch and his colleagues had doubted there was much to learn from their employees, believing instead that the workers, like drones, were just supposed to carry out management’s decisions. They were not supposed to show initiative; after all, they were workers, not managers. But eventually the chairman began to realize that GE’s employees were a vital and unending source of new and imaginative ideas. Allowing them to have input into the day-to-day operations of the company could improve business and dramatically increase productivity.
This approach had one more giant benefit: it could make workers, survivors of the Great Corporate Downsizing, feel more satisfied in their jobs.
Using the brain power of employees was a major change for Jack Welch and General Electric.”
The question is: are you allowing your team to have input into the day-to-day operations or are you killing their imagination and initiatives by just keeping them busy giving them things to-do?
