In a previous blog , I wrote about why you should transform your organization into a network organization and promised to write about how to lead that transformation. To recap, a network organization is all about communities based on connectors and content. Connectors come from all layers of your hierarchy, know who’s who, know many people, have contacts throughout the organization, and get things done by connecting people to each other.

In The Fearless Organization , Amy Edmondson explains what psychological safety is and what it isn’t and how we can create in our organizations. And it is this fear we have of looking bad or retribution that organizations must reduce or eliminate if we are to help people to bring their best to work. Without it, people will withhold thoughts, ideas, and contributions that are vital to your growth, renewal, and the overall health of your organization.

The main problem facing organizations is not the pace of change itself but the “ uneven rates of assimilating these technologies into different levels of human organization.” Technology changes faster than individuals can adopt it (the adoption gap ); individuals adapt more quickly to that change than organizations can (the adaptation gap ), and organizations adjust more quickly than legal and societal institutions can (the assimilation gap ).

N INCOMPOOPERY is the crazy stuff we do (or don’t do) that drives our customers crazy and makes life difficult for employees and keeps organizations from getting what they want. But when an organization is driving people crazy, it’s a nincompoopery problem. Usually, the organization knows what’s wrong; it’s just that nobody has the courage to overcome the tradition, the inertia, or the apathy to fix it.

I’ll discuss them in a later blog post, but the point is: reinventing organizations takes time and some people may be discouraged when they think of applying this to their workplace. It is not easy to be kind in our organization.”

Whether the leader grew-up in the organization or was transplanted into a new ecosystem, they can utilize sound leadership principles to guide the organization to success. The difference is the time it takes to build a framework upon which to hang those leadership principles in an unfamiliar organization.
