Gary Hamel: The Facebook Generation vs. the Fortune 500
This caught my eye considering how often these elements crop up in my Fortune 500 existence. Here are the 12, but the details in each are worth reading in the article…
- “All ideas compete on equal footing.
- Contribution counts for more than credentials.
- Hierarchies are natural, not prescribed.
- Leaders serve rather than preside.
- Tasks are chosen, not assigned.
- Groups are self-defining and -organizing.
- Resources get attracted, not allocated.
- Power comes from sharing information, not hoarding it.
- Opinions compound and decision are peer-reviewed.
- Users can veto most policy decisions.
- Intrinsic rewards matter most.
- Hackers are heros.”
