His company had developed Chatter, a Facebook inspired application for companies that allows users to keep track of their colleagues and customers and share information and ideas. The employees had been trying it out internally, not just within their own work groups but across the entire organization. As Benioff read the Chatter posts, he realized that many of the people who had critical customer knowledge and were adding the most value were not even known to the management team. The view into top management from the rank and file was just as obscure, Benioff knew. What could he do to bring the top tier of the company closer to the workforce? What greeted the 200 executives who attended that meeting was atypical. Do You Have the Collaborative Capacity You Need? Collaboration is a discretionary activity.
People have to want to share ideas and work together. It can be catalyzed, but it can’t be mandated – and, to that extent, it requires re-thinking many of our organizational assumptions and leadership practices. Many of our ideas about organizations and leaders were formed at a time when the primary operational challenge was one of getting people to perform tasks consistently and reliably. We leveraged best practices to achieve a uniform approach. We required that everyone be present in the same place and time, in some cases to get the work done, but at a minimum to allow us to gauge performance by watching in-process activities.
But more and more of the work that differentiates our businesses today depends on divergent or creative activities. Does your organization have the processes and practices, the leadership skills and the relationships among participants that you’ll need? Think of this like beginning a manufacturing business.
