The right level of guidelines are important to make effective decisions, achieve high performance results without discouraging free thinking & innovation.
It is important to develop your own company tailored rules to inspire changing mentality, motivate positive attitude and good behaviors, generate winning concepts for leading business transformation on a consistent basis.
Purpose keeps people to be conscious of what they are doing; guidelines allow them to move in the right direction: When the organization lacks a set of cohesive guidelines, people are running in the dark, fumbling around to make decisions blindly, or walking around the problems helplessly. They might only think of solutions on a personal and group level, but missing the big picture at the organizational scope. It causes small thinking, conflicts, poor behaviors, further leading to business stagnation. Business leaders today have to not only provide clear guidelines but also see that the teams are engaged, collaborative, and accountable to deliver the higher than expected business results to ensure business reliability and endurance continually.
A set of guidelines as a compass will guide all levels of the organization to operate more like the organic system that operates smoothly: Organizations are complex nowadays, it’s important to set a directional guide for making cohesive decisions and solving complex problems in a structural way across the organizational hierarchy. Having enriched knowledge or versatile talent is foundational to run a high performance organization in today’s sophisticated digital world. In practice, different divisions in the company have their own subject experts, functional dialect, divisional goals and objectives; so most businesses are the sum of parts, rather than a holistic company. Thus, a clearly defined set of guidelines enable the top business management to break down silo mentality, handle internal conflicts smoothly, integrate important business elements such as talent, process, technology into unique business capabilities, and ensure the business as a whole is superior to the sum of its parts.
Quality information based guidelines enable the business to improve performance management effectiveness: Information is a key enabler to help the management make effective decisions, and achieve strategic business objectives; knowledge is the power to frame the right issues, fix the root cause of the problems, generate business value for benefiting your organization and our modern society. The right metrics can be helpful to track progress in business improvement initiatives quantitatively; keep reviewing return on investment periodically. With reliable performance data, the management can guide the team to understand the purpose of doing metrics, leverage critical thinking to make inquiries, and use metrics as pointers to areas requiring further investigation.
The right level of guidelines are important to make effective decisions, achieve high performance results without discouraging free thinking & innovation. By following the fine-tuned guidelines, the business management cycle could be viewed as resulting in emergent means of reorganizing, refocusing, rebalancing resources, and redirecting people to understand the whole, ultimately reaching the next level of business maturity.
