Rarely Do You Find Companies Without Walls Between The Functions
| Another great irony in organizational behavior is the continued use of the words team, teamwork, and "there is no I in team", et cetera. In point of fact rarely do teams and teamwork exist in organizations. These are the walls that exist around functions. The reasons that walls exist are not important, what is important is understanding what is required to reduce the walls around and between functions.
Removing walls around and between functions requires effective leadership and management. Good leadership must then provide a commonality of objectives so that each function is doing their part to work toward the same objectives as all the other functions. Additionally, these objectives must be constantly measured to assure they are being met and when they aren't met, corrections must be made.
Another critical part of creating this commonality of effort and goals (dare I say teamwork?) is compensating all the function heads and key participants based on overall performance and competent goals. Compensation based on performance assures that the functions will have a strong motivation to work together toward the same ends.
Those companies that can remove walls around and between functions and are able to get the functions to work together toward common goals are the same ones that make plan and have high levels of performance. |
