The unintended consequences of Organizational DNA: Part 1

I'm going to go further on a future post to expand upon why this brief quote I found has significant meaning to me. If you've rebelled against the mold or 4-sided box your management has continually tried to force you into, then it should resonate with you.

"Productivity, predictability and alignment are embedded in the marrow of our management systems. Experimentation, risk-taking and variety are the enemy of the efficiency machine that is the modern corporation. Of course it's variety, (and the daring to be different) that produces game-changing innovation." ~ Polly LaBarre
