Organizational Accountability Warning Flag 1 – Equality of Outcomes

/in , /by

StrategyDriven Organizational Accountability ArticleNo two individuals are exactly alike; therefore, each uniquely contributes to the organization. Subsequently, it is reasonable to expect that each individual’s efforts will result in a unique value contribution to the organization. In the accountable organization, this value is proportionately rewarded. Thus, no two individuals should expect to consistently receive the same reward outcomes.

Risk Management – Value of Effective Risk Management

/in , /by

Value of Risk ManagementMost think of risk management as an insurance policy, the price paid to help prevent potentially negative outcomes. Such a view leads to the conclusion that risk management is a business expense with a highly subjective value proposition. Risk management, however, offers companies a great deal of value and StrategyDriven would suggest the insurance view is far too narrow. Instead, effective risk management enables a business to accelerate its operations and market entry, to become more aggressive, an approach that in today’s fast paced marketplace environment is immeasurably valuable.

Corporate Cultures – Leader Initiated, Rules and Standards Controlled Environment

/in , /by

The Leader Initiated, Rules and Standards Controlled Environment represents a moderate leader led work environment that gives lower level mangers and supervisors somewhat more autonomy to direct day-to-day activities without relinquishing centralized control. This culture set realizes the benefits of centalized direction setting and improved, if not rigid, consistency. The reliance on rules and standards provides some degree of local flexibility that heightens situational responsiveness but diminishes consistency in actions and results between workgroups and locations.

Recommended Resource – The No Asshole Rule

/in /by

The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn’t
by Robert Sutton

About the Reference

The No Asshole Rule by Robert Sutton provides methods for constructively dealing with the workplace bullies, creeps, jerks, tyrants, tormentors, despots, backstabbers, and egomaniacs – regardless if they are seniors, peers, or subordinates. His research provides insight to the financial costs such hostilities have on an organization as well as the proven methods for effectively dealing with such ill-mannered individuals.

Benefits of Using this Reference

StrategyDriven Contributors like The No Asshole Rule because its well researched strategies for dealing with hostility in the workplace provide effective methods for isolating these negative influences and restoring personal effectiveness. We further appreciate the insight Dr. Sutton presents to enable the reader to recognize instances where his/her behavior creates workplace hostility and how to eliminate such behavior.

We believe workplace hostility is a leading contributor of diminished moral, reduced productivity, and elevated attrition; all of which poison an organization’s culture and hurt its bottom line. (See StrategyDriven‘s Diversity and Inclusion topic area.) Effectively dealing with such hostility not only benefits the organization but helps the individual by reducing stress and increasing effectiveness. Dr. Sutton’s actionable methods for recognizing, isolating, and dealing with workplace hostilities – for becoming part of the solution rather than a perpetuator of the problem – in a manner that improves individual productivity makes The No Asshole Rule a StrategyDriven recommended read.
