Letting people work

One and while I catch myself thinking about why the organizations don’t let people work. Indeed, this is a controversial thought, because every single worker is hired to WORK! But in practice this is not what happens in the reality.

I’ve seen many many times, very talented people being blocked by some “rule” or someone that think the person is not able or “was not hired” to contribute on that way. I really like to think on a contrary way of this line, because my coaching personality like to see people evolving, become personally and technically better, it’s a pleasure to me :)

So, this must be a mantra for managers and leaders, if your team can run 100 km/h don’t make them run at 5 km/h, because it’s very frustrating, we should let people be the best they can be, trust them, encourage them, coach and support them.

The bottom line here is to treat people as people, not as robots, because people can see, hear, smell, feel, have emotions, and so one. Sometimes you have only to listen to your team, and that will be enough. Don’t centralize, don’t block creativity, don’t be afraid of trying something new, don’t wrongly control, just follow, coach, support and be part of everything.

A long time ago…

Hi All,

Wow, it has been a long time since my last post. Unfortunately I’ve been doing so many things at once, and I couldn’t even write a single line. But now I have a free time to do this.

So, I promise I will be posting interesting things here again. One thing among the other 10000 is my preparation for the IBM SOA Certification, and I’d like to bring here some discussions about it. I found very interesting things in my studies :)

Another thing I will be posting is about EAI tools, such as IBM MQ, TIBCO, ServiceMix and so on.

So, stay tuned !

See ya.
