Please, not another
business imperative! Every time I open a journal or glance at a blog
it seems as though the panacea to all business ills has just been
discovered and is waiting for me to embrace it! One minute I’m
being told to hire for cultural fit, the next to increase diversity.
It’s no wonder that employee engagement is falling because if I’m
being pushed from pillar to post then it’s not surprising that my
people are confused……
Which of us can honestly say hand on heart that
thoughts such as these haven’t slunk through our heads in the wee
small hours of the night; when we should be resting but our minds are
busy with the imperative to do more, be more, and to drive our
organisations through to success. And the problem with dark thoughts
in the middle of the night is that they come singly, they present
themselves as completely individual challenges which have to be
conquered one by one.
Collaborating for greatness
“Don’t
just take the market, shape the market or create entirely new
markets”.
So
hiring for cultural fit and promoting diversity together can
strengthen business prospects. Let’s think
for a moment about one of the key elements of a culture of
innovation, namely collaboration.
