Working together, it can be done
Two books tackle a crucial topic for businesses from different points of view
Working together to grow together. This applies to all organisations, but is of particular importance for companies. And especially today. However, working together effectively is difficult to achieve and is the result of a journey that needs to be undertaken, possibly with some help from manuals and guides. Here are two complementary books that can help. They both start from the premise that organisations really work when people can contribute, decide and create together.
‘Leadership collegiale. Per organizzazioni agili, dinamiche, performanti’ (Collegial leadership. For agile, dynamic, high-performance organisations) written by Monica Margoni, focuses on the reality that companies face, which requires the ability to adapt to change, attract new talent and experiment with new ways of understanding leadership. It is a question of decision-making processes, which have to be fast, and organisational structures, which have to be flexible and provide room for the assumption of responsibility. Much depends on the ability of the ‘leaders’ to create the right conditions. The book therefore presents different methods of leadership not as personal competencies, but as functions that can be exercised by anyone within an organisation. It is an evolutionary path that today’s managers can take with their employees, because responding to complexity requires more than the intelligence of a few.
Working together is key. This is also the premise of ‘Facilitation for growth. Come ottenere risultati straordinari dai gruppi (How to get extraordinary results from groups) by Giancarlo Manzoni and Marco Ossani. The book considers organisations as human groups and teams that can only function if everyone is moving in the same direction. This is why ‘facilitation’ is considered a fundamental tool for all companies. The book illustrates the techniques of this discipline, which make it possible to improve collaboration in groups. However, they also serve another purpose: to generate ideas, achieve consensus, and give the experience shared meaning. Full of practical case studies, this is a book to read and apply.
