Employees Commiserate, Entrepreneurs Brainstorm

Do you believe that entrepreneurial people are more innovative and productive than the ordinary wage slaves?
Yes? How about the fact that all of us have at least a tad of entrepreneurial talent? No? -- Hear this: "All human
beings are entrepreneurs," asserts Professor Muhammad Yunus, the 2006 Nobel Laureate and founder of the
now-famous Grameen Bank in Bangladesh.  After decades of field work, he and his followers have proven
beyond a reasonable doubt that, under proper conditions, anyone can become an entrepreneur. Largely thanks
to the Grameen's support for millions of the most unlikely entrepreneurs - destitute and illiterate Muslim women -
Yunus's formerly impoverished country of Bangladesh now has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.

A similar pattern of entrepreneurial awakening is propelling economic development everywhere. The "Chinese
miracle" of the last decades is the result of the Chinese government simply giving its citizens the freedom to use
their entrepreneurial talent (and framing it well). However, both Bangladesh and China have only scratched the
surface of this limitless resource – the resource which all countries have in abundance.

Anyway, you must have noticed in our examples here that in addition to eliminating bad behaviors, the previously
"bad" employees eagerly worked to find new savings. Well, without ever realizing it, they in fact became
productive intra-organizational entrepreneurs. This is another elegant feature of our system: while repelling
wrongdoing like oil repels water, it promotes beneficial entrepreneurship by creating proper conditions. People
start to care, doing their jobs more efficiently and creatively - just as a community of mutually-supportive
entrepreneurs should.

And haven't you noticed that everyone's entrepreneurial skills only grow when they are used? This is a sort of
fuel on which the innovative and productive capacities of companies can grow ad infinitum. Only companies with
better organization will beat them. No, you don't have to believe us, but watch the short video clip below. In case
you don't recognize the man, it is Dr. Gary Hamel -- Business Guru #1, according to the Wall Street Journal. He
is pleading with you to make more money for yourself...

                                                      From Corruption to Innovation in One Step  

Returning to the previous point, in conventionally structured organizations, most of our innate entrepreneurial
talent withers on the vine. Indeed, it is actively repressed to avoid malfeasance and employee stupidity...leading,
as it were, to more stupidity and sometimes more sophisticated malfeasance. The impulse to repress intra-
organizational entrepreneurship is understandable to a degree: the Russian "robber entrepreneurship" of the
'90s is a clear example of how truly unbridled initiative can ruin an entire country, not just a company. But the
great thing about our management system is that it nips all wrongdoing in the bud while creating a superior
environment for growing the innovative potential. And it ignites every singe employee. Use it, and your current
people will accomplish more than the perfect employees you have been dreaming of (and then some).

                                                                The Quick Will Eat The Slow

To foster employee innovation, perennially successful companies like SAIC, W.L. Gore, Semco SA, Google and
others use elements of management systems that somewhat resemble ours. Unfortunately, their custom-made
models are not as effective as ours and transfer poorly, if at all. Our simple system is self-adaptable, as if
customized for you, and a breeze to install. Since it is also infinitely scalable, even in a vast company like WalMart
could install it in a week, and scrap it in an hour (although why would they do the latter?).

In his recent book The Future of Management, the same Gary Hamel tries to convince organizational leaders to
abandon old organizational schemes. He persuasively argues that better management systems serve as winning
business strategies for their companies: they allow companies to adapt and innovate faster than the competition
-- and it is the quick, not the big, who eat the slow (behold the mammoth Blockbuster falling victim to the small-but-
nimble Netflix; although, soon enough Netflix will calcify, too).

To search for the management methods of the future, Dr. Hamel established the Management Innovation Lab at
the London Business School. With deep respect for him, we can confidently state that, when it comes to
management of both innovation AND malfeasance, we already have what he is seeking. You can have it, too.
