I have a love/hate relationship with the large corporation.

I love large corporations. I work for a large corporation and the income and benefits that I earn by working there are truly a blessing to my family.  In addition, the power, resources, and scale of large corporations have produced and will continue to produce products and services that significantly enhance the world we live in.

I hate large corporations. I work for a large corporation and, if I’m being honest with you, there are days when the nonsense that happens inside my large corporation makes me want to bang my head against the wall of my 6 x 6 cubicle.

Size.  Magnitude. The very qualities that make large corporations so powerful are the same qualities that make them so difficult to change improve.

That change improvement might not be easy, but this is where I would start.

Large corporations need…..

Less rules, policies, standard operating procedures.  // More vision, purpose, direction.

Less managers. // More leaders.

Less confusion.  // More clarity.

Less suits and ties. // More blue jeans.

Less silos. // More collaboration.

Less knowledge hoarding. // More knowledge sharing.

Less coworkers. // More teammates.

Less status meetings. // More brainstorming sessions.

Less boredom.  // More fun.

Less commanding & controlling of people.  // More unleashing of people.

Less status quo. // More change, creativity, innovation, improvement.

Less PowerPoint presentations. // More whiteboards.

Less playing it safe. // More risk taking.

Less “That will never work here.” and “That’s impossible.” // More dreaming.

Is that kind of large corporation even possible?  What do you think?

Oh, i almost forgot one.  Less email.
