520 |a "We create organizations because we need to get a job done -something we couldn't do alone- and join them because we're inspired by their missions (and our paycheck). But once we're inside, these organizations rarely feel inspirational. Instead, we're often baffled by what we encounter: clueless managers, a lack of clear objectives, a seeming disregard for data, and the vast gulf between HR proclamations and our experience in the cubicle. So where did it all go wrong? Woven throughout with fascinating case studies -including McDonald's, al Qaeda, the Baltimore City Police Department, Procter and Gamble, the island nation of Samoa, and Google- "The org" reveals why the give-and-take nature of organizations, while infuriating, nonetheless provides the best way to get the job done. You'll learn: The purpose of meetings and why they will never go away; why even members of al Qaeda are required to submit Travel & Expense reports; what managers are good for; how the army and other orgs balance marching in lockstep with fostering innovation; why it's the hospital administration -not the heart surgeon- who is more likely to save your life; that CEOs often spend over 80% of their time in meetings -and why that's exactly where they should be (and why they get paid so much). Looking at life behind the red tape, "The org" shows why the path from workshop to corporate behemoth is pockmarked with tradeoffs and competing incentives, but above all, demonstrates why organizations are central to human achievement." --Descripción del editor.
