Your organization is wasting its most valuable resource.
Harvard professors Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey say:
“In an ordinary organization, most people are doing a second job no one is paying them for. In businesses large and small; in government agencies, schools, and hospitals; in for-profits and nonprofits, and in any country in the world, most people are spending time and energy covering up their weaknesses, managing other people’s impressions of them, showing themselves to their best advantage, playing politics, hiding their inadequacies, hiding their uncertainties, hiding their limitations. Hiding.
We regard this as the single biggest loss of resources that organizations suffer every day. Is anything more valuable to a company than the way its people spend their energies?
The total cost of this waste is simple to state and staggering to contemplate; it prevents organizations, and the people who work in them, from reaching their full potential.”
From An Everyone Culture
Attend to the misdirected cognitive and emotional (passion) energies of your physicians and executives.
What you’ll gain: “Increases in profitability, improved employee retention, greater frankness in communication better error detection in operational and strategic design, more effective delegation, and enhanced accountability.”
What you’ll lose: excesses in “cost structures, political maneuvering, interdepartmental strife, employee downtime and disengagement.”
What you’re more likely to do: “Convert the familiar team of leaders (each looking out for his or her own franchise) into the more valuable, but elusive, leadership team. . . invent and realize future possibilities no one has experienced previously.”
