Simplicity Minded Management頭腦簡單管理
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 組織，因為他們得到較大，加上層的複雜性，以自己的組織架構，以面對日益複雜的外部景觀（也看過我的其他博客標題 Globalization and Managaing Complexity 全球化和managaing複雜 ) ）
Ron Ashkenas in his HBR article “ 羅恩什克納斯在他的速立克的文章" Simplicity Minded Management 頭腦簡單管理 ” 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. "寫就如何帶出複雜的組織，他表示，簡化的策略也必須被視為一項業務勢在必行，而不是一個軟" ，尼斯有" ，但憑藉一個關鍵貢獻者，以自下而上的路線取得成功。這樣做的一個辦法它根據作者是從事僱員，在整個組織過程簡化，尤其是在基層。 “Complexity can and does hold back business innovation, create confusion and cause employee frustration,” Ron says. "複雜性可以，而且確實不隱瞞業務創新，製造混亂，引起員工的不滿， "羅恩說。 “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.” "隨著越來越高的要求對經營業績和緊迫的勞動力市場，沒有一家公司可以負擔不必要的複雜性放緩，他們的業務，並造成不必要的壓力，在人才戰" 。

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! 對我來說，最有趣的觀察作者的是，在每一個組織內的複雜性開始與個人 。 是什麼意思是'你和我'負責的複雜性在我們身邊，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! 我們是問題的一部分。羅恩說，其中一個方法，以創造簡單，是尋求反饋，從同事，經理和同齡人的工作。叫他們怎麼是你的任務，創造的複雜性給他們。徵求意見，以簡化為他們工作，所以我現在會借這個意見，以心出發，現正招租！
