亨利·福特:我的生活与工作·补录 125

亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导

That which one has to fight hardest against in bringing together a large number of people to do work is excess organization and consequent red tape. To my mind there is no bent of mind more dangerous than that which is sometimes described as the "genius for organization." This usually results in the birth of a great big chart showing, after the fashion of a family tree, how authority ramifies. The tree is heavy with nice round berries, each of which bears the name of a man or of an office. Every man has a title and certain duties which are strictly limited by the circumference of his berry.

白话

福特认为,把一大群人组织起来工作,最难对付的就是过度组织和随之而来的官僚程序。他觉得,没有哪种思维倾向比所谓的“组织天才”更危险。这种“天才”往往催生一张巨大的组织架构图,像家谱一样展示权力如何分支。树上挂满漂亮的圆果子,每个果子写着一个名字或一个职位。每个人都有头衔和严格限定在“果子周长”内的职责。这种结构看似清晰,实则僵化,阻碍沟通和行动。福特的建议是:警惕为了组织而组织,保持结构简单,让信息流动和决策更快。

上下文

福特在《我的生活与工作》中批评当时企业界流行的复杂组织架构,认为过度组织会扼杀效率。

今日一问

你的团队或项目是否也有一张“家谱图”?哪些层级可以砍掉,让沟通更直接?
