Management is too important to leave to managers. ” With this round and funny phrase, Jurgen Appelo summarizes the philosophy of Management 3.0.
When we hear about the offices of companies such as Google, Apple, Pixar, Virgin, Spotify … without fixed hours, with ping pong tables, foosball tables, even slides … and we thought that we would like to have it in our office … Even some managers think that It is a good idea and they carry it out, but in reality they continue working “as always”. This process is precisely the evolution of management as understood by Jurgen in Management 3.0.
The most traditional management, call Management 1.0, has been based on “do what I tell you”, in carrying out tasks following defined processes (usually erroneous and outdated), believing that people are one more piece of gear, interchangeable in any moment. Treat people as resources, with a focus on cost savings and with a very strong hierarchy where the superior knew how to do the job better.
The next step, understood as Management 2.0, is precisely the example we have discussed at the beginning of the article. Let’s do like them, let’s put a ping pong table! It’s so cool! Visitors love it! They try to apply some of the practices that are carried out in companies that work differently, but without really understanding why. The rest remains the same. Without internalizing the principles that characterize a different culture. Without applying new values. Without really changing. Makeup.
Management 3.0 is a new model of innovation, leadership and management. Management 3.0 is to redefine the leadership where management is the responsibility of the group. Management 3.0 involves working together to find the most efficient way for a company to achieve its objectives, keeping the happiness of workers a priority.
In the different books Management 3.0, #workout and Managing for hapiness, the principles, values and motivating elements to carry out this transformation are explained. Through a set of tools, games and practices we can improve the culture of the organization, improve employee productivity and motivate teams.
