"The real damper on employee engagement is
the soggy, cold blanket of centralized authority. In most companies,
power cascades downwards from the CEO. Not only are employees
disenfranchised from most policy decisions, they lack even the power to
rebel against egocentric and tyrannical supervisors."
I'm just finding out about Gary Hamel, but I like the general flow of his ideas. I heard him being interviewed on BBC radio last night and will have to look into this guy.
Internet Collective Action is people organizing in a nonhierarchical manner to accomplish a particular goal. The reward is in the doing, and how much or how little anyone participates is completely voluntary, depending on their abilities and commitment to the goal. By this process amazing things can be accomplished. ICA will grow so long as the Internet is free. http://www.lisamcpherson.org/pc.htm is an example of ICA.
