Unleashing Organizational Energy

Throw Away ALL management concepts, tools and techniques!

Look for ENERGY at your workplace!

Your people and organizations are bubbling with energy!

But, what is the quality of that energy? Can this be measured? The answer is yes, but, we shall come back to that later.

Let us explore energy a bit further. Who all are working on this? Center for Organizational Energy states:

• People that are coordinated & aligned can create incredible energy
  and powerful business results.
• Organizations are complex, with many interacting factors.
• Misdirected energy leads to conflict, uncertainty, and inflexibility.
• Focus your people’s energy!

An MIT Sloan Management Review article says:

Long-term research conducted with companies such as ABB and Lufthansa has helped the authors identify four organizational energy zones that, harnessed properly, can provide a powerful boost for achieving strategic goals.

First, they show that companies operating in what they call the aggression zone (responding to a threat) or the passion zone (responding to an exciting goal) are more likely to be successful.

Companies in the low-energy comfort zone coast dangerously on past success, and those in the resignation zone have nearly given up.

Without a high level of energy, the authors contend, a company cannot achieve radical productivity improvements, grow fast or create major innovations.
