Organizations can help or hinder

Today, we are living in a new era. Organizations are facing many challenges that can help or hinder them. Technology has replaced old savoir faire and is taking a major place in both the individual and the organization. The internet blasted in full force, creating new barriers for companies living in the past and opening new frontiers for start ups and innovators. Competition is as fierce as ever, making and breaking at the speed of light. Oceans are no longer the limits as from the comfort of one’s home; new ventures are started with enormous potentials. Apple, Microsoft, Facebook are some of the few examples proving that gigantic capitals are not necessarily the most important element in creating new companies having been launched from their founders garages. Talent and the individual are the most important along with the ability to turn vision into reality. Leadership and visions are what mattered the most. Business in no longer a one man affair and becomes like the orchestration of a symphony where every single member has to play its part to the best of its ability for the piece to be successful. As such, the organization, to be successful, needs to spot potential leaders and give them the opportunity, means and reward necessary to the advancement of the company. Making mistake no longer hinder the employee or the leader but becomes the necessary step to encourage and develop leadership – correction instead of censure in now one of the best approach used by “avant guardes” companies looking forward to a brighter future as only the most astute will survive from the stammer of a baby to a full grown company with the competitive advantage that will permit continuation into future generations.
