Simplicity Minded Management头脑简单管理
Organizations as they gets larger, add layers of complexity to their organization structure to deal with increasing complex external landscape (Also read my other blog titled 组织，因为他们得到较大，加上层的复杂性，以自己的组织架构，以面对日益复杂的外部景观（也看过我的其他博客标题 Globalization and Managaing Complexity 全球化和managaing复杂 ) ）
Ron Ashkenas in his HBR article “ 罗恩什克纳斯在他的速立克的文章" Simplicity Minded Management 头脑简单管理 ” writes on how to strip complexity out of organizations. He says that a simplification strategy must also be treated as a business imperative, not a soft, “nice to have” virtue but a key contributor to bottom-line success. One way to do it according to the author is to engage employees across the organization in process simplification, particularly at the grassroots level. "写就如何带出复杂的组织，他表示，简化的策略也必须被视为一项业务势在必行，而不是一个软" ，尼斯有" ，但凭借一个关键贡献者，以自下而上的路线取得成功。这样做的一个办法它根据作者是从事雇员，在整个组织过程简化，尤其是在基层。 “Complexity can and does hold back business innovation, create confusion and cause employee frustration,” Ron says. "复杂性可以，而且确实不隐瞒业务创新，制造混乱，引起员工的不满， "罗恩说。 “With increasing demands on business performance and tight labor markets, no company can afford unnecessary complexity slowing down their business and causing unnecessary pressure during the talent war.” "随着越来越高的要求对经营业绩和紧迫的劳动力市场，没有一家公司可以负担不必要的复杂性放缓，他们的业务，并造成不必要的压力，在人才战" 。

For me, the most interesting observation the author makes is that in every organization the complexity begins with the individuals. What that means is ‘you and I’ are responsible for the complexity around us at work! 对我来说，最有趣的观察作者的是，在每一个组织内的复杂性开始与个人 。 是什么意思是'你和我'负责的复杂性在我们身边，在工作！ We are part of the problem. Ron says that one way to create simplicity is to seek feedback from colleagues, managers and peers at work. Ask them how is your task creating complexity for them. Seek suggestions to simplify work for them. I am going to take this advice to heart starting right now! 我们是问题的一部分。罗恩说，其中一个方法，以创造简单，是寻求反馈，从同事，经理和同龄人的工作。叫他们怎么是你的任务，创造的复杂性给他们。征求意见，以简化为他们工作，所以我现在会借这个意见，以心出发，现正招租！
