Changing the Corporate Culture
Productivity problems within organisations develop not because employees are complacent or incompetent, but because they do not see themselves as responsible and involved in work that has meaning and purpose. Without purpose there is little motivation; without responsibility, employees cling to lower level functioning that is counter-productive for the organisation as well as the individual.
Organisation that are committed to excellence realise their greatest asset is people and they act on that realisation. One of the most important functions of top management is to supply employees with the awareness and tools tat will stimulate their growth.
Management By Responsibility is the means to transform an organisation to excellence. It does so because it provides individuals with:
- An awareness of their level of maturation.
- An attitude shift that promotes positive change and commitment to organisational excellence.
- An application that is immediately transferable to one's specific situation.
- A willingness to take responsibility to achieve results.
- An ongoing system that integrates participation, involvement and team effectiveness.
