Leading people has finally changed, the companies are realizing that they cannot treat employees like they would work in a slave farm, meaning giving orders and tasks but benefitting the collective wit, knowledge, combining those to the higher reason, and gaining success.
Does this sound like your working place? Mine neither. The above description on fits to very rare amount of companies who have realized the way of working which gains success to them. Typically these rare gems have followed values, or are new hight companies. And sometimes even realizing that money comes by keeping employees happy, not doing cost cuttings.
What is in the title of this post then? It is that a workplace is a adaptive, organic system, influenced by persons, personalities, their interactions, diversity and the goal of the work. And that era of control as a method of managing should be thrown out for the window, maybe even the managers doing it.
