Top Tweets for #FormalStructure
Someone wrote that "work is largely about control". This is untrue. It is hierarchy, or #FormalStructure that's largely about control. The consequence: Most of today's companies are "out of balance." It's #OrgPhysics, dammit!

#FormalStructure and hierarchy: Over-estimated and over-emphasized in most organizations today. It is this excessive reliance on hierarchy that is the key source of suffering in the world of work today.

In order to bring #balance to organizations, or "transform them from pyramid to peach" we must:
1 stop over-accentuating #FormalStructure,
2 curate #InformalStructure, constructively,
3 strengthen #ValueCreationStructure.
Ignore #OrgPhysics at your peril!

If you do not distinguish #ValueCreationStructure from #FormalStructure, and #Periphery from #Center, then you will find it hard to understand company-wide self-organization, the power of decentralization, or organization design for complexity!

#Hierarchy is neither a network, nor is it networked!
It is power that emerges from #FormalStructure. It exists within every organization.
Every org also knows two other types of power: #Influence and #Reputation. Ignore them at your peril!

Most organizations today are out of balance:
They put way too much emphasis on #FormalStructure (steering/functional differentiation), ignore #InformalStructure and do nothing to make #ValueCreationStructure flourish!
Which leads to command&control misery.

“It is #ValueCreationStructure that should come first — not #FormalStructure. Only by putting Value Creation first, organizations can find true #balance, achieve great #leaderships, become aligned with #OrgPhysics as they are.”

We all somehow recognize #FormalStructure and #Informal (or "social") Sructure in the workplace. But we know little about the 3rd structure, which is the one where the actual work happens: This is #ValueCreationStructure.

In most companies, there is big investment into Formal Structure, in futile attempts to thus become more agile, lean, or <insert the latest hype>!
We must, however, focus on #ValueCreationStructure, not #FormalStructure, to get to lasting high performance!
https://t.co/sbgenA1Wfy
It is #ValueCreationStructure that we should constantly curate.
Not #FormalStructure!

If we want to overcome command-and-control, and bring #balance to organizations, then we must:
1 Stop over-accentuating #FormalStructure.
2 Curate #InformalStructure, constructively.
3 Strengthen #ValueCreationStructure.
That´s #OrgPhysics, you know?

In order to #balance an organization, or "transform it from Pyramid to Peach" you must stop over-accentuating #FormalStructure, you must strengthen #ValueCreationStructure and curate #InformalStructure, constructively.

While #FormalStructure is the domain of #positions, #ValueCreationStructure is the domain of work #roles. Of which every member of an organization has not one, but many.

It is not that executives or managers are
"fascinated" by #FormalStructure.
Formal Structure is just the only fucking thing they know!
Most people in orgs are blissfully ignorant
of the fact that every company
has 3 #structures, 3 #powers, 3 #leaderships.
https://t.co/sbgenA1Wfy
Every organization in the world has three interdependent structures.
Most companies stubbornly focus on #FormalStructure, of course.
Their people just don´t know better - but it´s a bad mistake.
Ignore #OrgPhysics at your own peril!
