Organizing is pretty easy. Shuffle some squares and you have a company. Creating an organic system where persons can thrive is much more difficult. The results, however, are amazing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I made up the word “organi-mizing.” At least I think I did. I found some pages on Pinterest that had the word. So at least a few persons consider it a word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organi-mizing has something to do with being organic or some sort of natural growth. Perhaps \u201cplanting\u201d or \u201cseeding\u201d is the better word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The concept is pretty simple. Instead of \u201clet\u2019s get organized\u201d how about \u201clet\u2019s plant and water,” or “let’s create a situation where persons can grow without our daily interference.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have read several books where the concept of organic management or gardening management was mentioned. (I can’t remember where I read these. If you know, please remind me.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organi-mizing is more difficult than organizing. Perhaps that is why it is rare when compared to its well-known cousin. Just about any “manager” I have ever met can shuffle squares in a piece of software or on a board. The squares represent generic people. “Let’s put an engineer here, an accountant there, a few HR persons over there, and viola’, we have a company!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creating a place where persons grow together and in a direction that improves everyone else…well…that is a bit more difficult. Too bad. When done well, the results are amazing. See, for example, a rose or a strawberry. Now those things are amazing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Dwayne Phillips Organizing is pretty easy. Shuffle some squares and you have a company.
