Rinsed Cheese, Anyone?
Chapter 6 is done and dusted, and a yet another great read...I'm not going to go into a huge amount of detail about what it says, as you can read it for yourself if you're interested. These are just a few questions that it raised in my own little mind...
Wouldn't it be great if there was no hierarchy in a working environment? Well, actually I think "no", it wouldn't be great. I do however think that ruthlessly eliminating the need to flaunt status in front of work colleagues is and excellent idea. It'd be so good if all the team could be totally focussed on achieving for the organisation rather than looking good to get a better status!!
Also, I've discovered myself (usually the hard way) that working within a wide framework can actually free you to be far more creative (and therefore productive) than either having a really rigid work discipline or, on the contrary, an anything goes type approach. And yes, I know that we're all wired differently, but surely either extreme is a bad thing? The whole freedom within a framework idea works for me every time.
So, where does that leave us?
Well, it would appear that to create a GREAT organisation, you need to put loads of great people on a bus, be brutally honest about how bad things are (whilst remaining faithful that "you CAN do better"), work out what your hedgehog looks like, and even rinse your cheese if it'll make a difference to the quality of the hedghog.
Simple!!
