The point is to see the two sides of the same coin, leverage complementary mindsets, capabilities to decide wisely, solve problems smoothly, lead changes successfully.
Business leadership, especially at senior level, needs to take a holistic view of business transformation, apply interdisciplinary management to planning & implementation, improve workforce intelligence, enforce governance disciplines, and take a structural approach to lead change smoothly.
The complementary mindsets and cognitive skills will help to identify blind-spots and capture collective insight: Contemporary organizations are diverse mixtures of peoples who belong to different generations, have varying professional or life experience, and carry diverse cultural heritage. They can think differently, learn from each other, brainstorm fresh ideas and viewpoints from different perspectives and explore alternative ways to do things. So collectively, a competitive team composed with people having complementary cognitive skills can bridge a variety of gaps, create the wealth of ideas, advocate changes, identify and close decision blind spots and improve problem-solving effectiveness.
Complementary capabilities improve problem-solving effectiveness and unlock collective performance: A professional is an individual who strives to represent capability to perform certain activities and delivers high quality. Either individually or organizationally, it takes time and effort to develop capabilities; usually capability cannot be transferred because of the degree of learning capacity and knowledge expertise. Hence, people with complementary capabilities can team up to improve overall problem-solving effectiveness. The caution is, the more actively an individual member of the team tries to control the team, the more you negate the self-correcting instinct. Thus, mutual trust and respect are the key. At the organizational level, complementary teams focus on giving and taking, harnessing cross-functional communication and collaboration, enhancing collective capabilities for unlocking team performance, making them and the other teams stronger for co-solving complex problems smoothly.
Complementary management-governance disciplines: The digital environment is constantly changing, today’s organization has become much more dynamic, informative, hyperconnected, and interdependent, forcing the business to keep adjusting the management practices, and enforcing their governance disciplines accordingly. In fact, corporate management and governance are complementary approaches to break down silos, enable information flow, decision coherence, and produce high performance results consistently.
Technically, there are a multitude of distinctions between corporate governance responsibilities and management responsibilities; governance ensures the business runs in the right direction at the appropriate speed; management focuses on improving business effectiveness and efficiency. There should be a governance mechanism embedded in all crucial business processes, and there are governance practices to enforce accountability at every level of the organizational management. Strong governance leads to effective management and reaches a high level of organizational maturity.
With “VUCA” reality, there are many concepts that seem to be opposite, indeed, they are complementary to keep the world balanced, such as centralization & decentralization, process & creativity, personalization & standardization, etc. The point is to see the two sides of the same coin, leverage complementary mindsets, capabilities to decide wisely, solve problems smoothly, lead changes successfully.
