As the Fourth Revolution grows and spreads, giving up control is inevitable.
Leaders cannot any more control everything that is being done in the organization. Organizations cannot control any more their market as they used to do (for example, spending millions on advertising and measuring a constant return on investment)…
Charlene Li mentions the 3 levers of change – the 3 levers of the Fourth Revolution, pushing unavoidable change:
- there are more and more people online
- social networking sites usage is becoming extremely widespread
- sharing is a rising habit
To that we need to add that with mobile technologies, employees stay connected to their own virtual world even when they are in office.
Do you want your organization to create more value? So, give up control! Stop barring access to social networks in the office! Real valuable work is anyway today not any more just dumb repetitive production, it is Creative, Emotional Work. Just allow it.
