How to catch a cloud and pin it down? I wish I knew. Yes, sounding lyric from Sound of Music can be unexpected when you talk about business. This is Steve Smolinsky krivnja.Konzultant management as any other - one that turns up in the seat and starts yakking - wants to extract ideas from your head and make sense of them. Why do we? Why is it that I have a skill with a needle, and the clouds and the lateral connection? This is pretty much a theme for today's chat: change. Many people hate change, but the business today that are constantly changing. Something's Gotta Give.
Smolinsky starts yakking. "The vast majority of people, regardless of culture, I really do not like change. They wanted to be in the morning at the same time, go to the same place and know exactly what they must do that day. They even like to watch the same television shows. Some people live their entire lives this way. "I get an idea Smolinsky is not one of those people. His temperament suits fall into different companies and environments. Me? It does not bother me a bit routine.
"Senior executives tend to be more flexible, but a huge percentage really like the consistency. Change is happening fast and accelerating speed. It feels like every 20 minutes there is a new electronic device that is better than the last. And you know what • People who can not stand the changes of getting left behind. "that's not what I want to hear. "At the same time, work to provide products and services that work every time. Imagine iPad worked only 40% of the time. Apple will be out of business. The company has to ensure consistency, quality, and repeatability while also embracing the flexibility, creativity and change."
JF: How to combine consistency and creativity
"It's all about the top people," he continued Smolinsky. "They need a vision and passion and ability to attract people as passionate about the business like - it's all about passion Think about the difference between someone who is leading because they have the vision and personality, and passion that grabs people -. Fully grabs people and makes them want to be part of their work. Steve Jobs example of this. part of the Apple story: "we are on the cutting edge technology and design, but we do it right. If you want to work here, you must be comfortable ... with change, while the manic quality "Compare it to Microsoft it will be interesting to see what happens to Apple with Jobs pulls the CEO role does anyone think the new president - who is an exceptional expert in day-to-day implementation - will be able to keep the passion going ?"
JF: How to create the leaders of
"I do not think that the creation of such a leader. You can allow them to rise. Today, technology allows people with a certain amount of insanity to do things differently. It allows people who are completely driven and focused to ignore everything else and attract those who are willing to jump on the bus. in the past, people might wake up and inspire the workforce have been killed off, but it has changed. Take Facebook, for example. Some people may like Mark Zuckerberg, but he pushed ahead Facebook attracting a collection of deals, passionate people to work with him, which would be ridiculously difficult, if not impossible, if they worked in a traditional organization ."
JF: So, how do you help employees embrace change?
"Blow it!" Smolinsky response. "Top people must know that the future opportunities are not based on what the company has done in the past, you have to constantly watch -. to pay attention to everything and realize the opportunities you're passionate about, and that you believe that you bitinajbolji world -. profitable must encourage new ideas, but you must pay them to kill the idea, even if they do not succeed 3M is a culture designed to keep up with new ideas every year ".... I suppose that for each post-it note, there are a few ideas that do not work.
"You must be blameless on the failure - always take a risk means that there is a possibility that it will not work," continues Smolinsky. "The company culture must be fully encourage people to share opinions and thoughts and ideas about improving things, no matter what they do. Everything must be looked at and thought about it. I should be ready to change ."
to bring the message: ". It's all about the culture of persons placed on top of the" Steve Jobs is a great guide.
in the next chat, Steve Smolinsky waxes lyrical on the responsibility.
