Nothing sucks more or wastes more company time and resources than playing Game of Thrones with all the assertive personalities in your company.
The answer is not to put a rigid organizational structure. It's to avoid hiring people you wouldn't trust to have your back, or, if one has been hired, to avoid promoting him or her into a position of leadership.
- jdlshore 13y agoThat seems like a pretty naive position to me. Hiring is not as easy as you make it sound, nor are people's motivations so transparent.
- pron 13y agoDo you think power games are more common or more toxic in schools among teachers, who are part of a rigid organizational structure, than among students, who are not? All evidence suggests that alliances, betrayals and bullying are far more rampant in less rigid organizations, because that's where they matter more. Saying you should hire people who will have your back is as practical as saying buy low and sell high. Nobody intentionally hires people that are clearly disloyal or disruptive.
