Baker takes on eight dysfunctional people management practices
originating from the scientific management and offers practical
solutions for changing these practices and increasing
organizational agility. Agile is the new black. Every business now
has to be adaptive, nimble and ready to pivot - managers have to be
comfortable with ambiguity and constantly ready for change. And
yet... While agility is regarded as essential for competitive
advantage, most organizations are still unthinkingly applying
people management practices, rooted in Frederick Taylor's
scientific management philosophy of the early 20th century,
designed to ensure consistency and efficiency on production lines
but which actively prevent the sort of creativity and flexibility
needed in the modern workplace. 100 years of scientific management
has led to the creation of eight performance myths. Myths that
impede the agility necessary to compete in the age of the knowledge
worker but which are so instinctively embedded in management psyche
that they go unchallenged despite the fact that the changing world
of work has rendered them dysfunctional and counterproductive.
Through case studies and examples Baker demonstrates how the right
workplace culture for promoting and applying agile decision-making
consists of eight values shared by employer and employee - values
that are polar opposite of the values and assumptions of
traditional management styles. A new psychological contract that
enables the collaborative working relationship necessary for
agility to flourish.
