I have a history of making changes. I’ve never worked somewhere and been happy with just reading a list of things to do and then doing them. Sometimes that’s helped me achieve high levels of success and sometimes that’s made it pretty clear that I should find work elsewhere. Sometimes I wish I could just say, “sure, that legacy process that was designed during the industrial revolution is probably the best way to handle a job that didn’t exist until the early 2000s.” But I can’t.
I don’t think that companies should be structured around rigidity. Now that doesn’t mean that I think people should just do whatever they want. That’s chaos.
I’m a big fan of processes and systems, just not processes and systems that are deemed infallible at the organizational level. It’s ok if you do things a certain way. And it’s ok if you currently do things because “that’s the way you’ve always done things” however I refuse to be ok with that being the reason we don’t investigate change. What served you will only serve you. if you never, ever grow.
Org Sharts is all about the way work should be done. My goal is to help people learn to be reflective and proactive and to hopefully free up the time you’re wasting on organizational waste and let you use it as you’d like.
That’s how we SHOULD have always done things.
