What is an open organisation? – An open organization is one in which your employees feel the importance of working and realize their contribution is much welcomed and appreciated. They should feel comfortable in accepting and pointing mistakes.
Why it is needed? – An open organization encourages people to work cohesively and progressively towards company’s mission. Only when they feel special, they can see company’s mission as one of their own.
Three steps for an organization to become open are,
Step 1 : Focus only to goals and performance compared to position
You should give importance only to performance and goals they achieve rather than their position in organization. Once you give more importance to position, people tend to feel insecure and start to work towards their personal goals rather than company’s.
Step 2 : Train your higher officials to accept sub ordinates’ idea
Train people who are high in your ladder and make them understand that people with fresh mind can many times bring you out of box solutions. Accept those. Only when you accept them, organization will be wide open. Once you start accepting, then you will see an increase in response.
Step 3 : Focus on solving problems
Always focus your energy on solving problems and finding solutions. Hierarchies and Management should focus on the best solution rather than dictating solution. The more democratic be your organization the more forward you will fly.
