Management teams and organizations that prioritize inclusion attract better talent and perform better. In bringing this mindset to life, leaders wind up embracing a number of unconventional management practices.

Fulfilling technology’s potential will require leaders to recreate the way their institutions operate in a world of digital ubiquity. Or as Richard Straub of the Peter Drucker Society of Europe puts the question , “are managers equipped – in terms of skills, competencies and courage – to lead us toward the Great Transformation?”.

And as odd as it may sound, one of the greatest impediments to building productive teams is practicing management by consensus. To be blunt, the concept of equality in the workplace has only made team building more difficult as employees seem to have a sense of undeserved entitlement with regard to their roles and responsibilities.

In my work in competitive intelligence I have met many managers and executives who made major decisions involving billions of dollars of commitments with only scant attention to the likely reaction of competitors, the effect of potential disruptors, new approaches offered by startups and the impact of long-term industry trends.

Organization as machine – this imagery from our industrial past continues to cast a long shadow over the way we think about management today. Managers still assume that stability is the normal state of affairs and change is the unusual state (a point I particularly challenge in The End of Competitive Advantage ).

In 1985, Peter Drucker made a hopeful case for an entrepreneurial society in which innovation and the creation of new businesses would more than compensate for job losses stemming from the retreat of manufacturing industries in the U.S. A second reason is that our assumptions about good management practices are out of date.

Forced to do more with much less, the small businesses that have managed to survive and even thrive during these tough times have recognized one important factor: You can’t always compete on price, but you can compete on service.

So just how closely should management monitor their employees' minds? Savvy managers are always sensitive to what might be going wrong as what should be getting better. Effective executives, as Peter Drucker noted, want to get ahead of potential problems. Get ready to manage them. Those risks are growing. My bet is, no.
