Management guru, Gary Hamel calls today’s generation- the Facebook Generation or Generation F. Writing in the Wall Street Journal in his column called Gary Hamel’s Management 2.0, he speaks of a generation that has grown up online. In Facebook Generation vs Fortune 500 he asks how organisations can adapt to ways that resonate with today’s generation – who spend huge amounts of time online.
He lists 12 work-relevant characteristics of online life. In conclusion, he asks what are the web-based social values that you think are most contrary to the managerial DNA one finds inside a typical corporate giant?
To my mind, clearly speed of decision making and dissemination of information are major differentiators. Generation F is used to getting their info- now! This leads to speed of decision making . By and large, corporates – especially the larger ones-are prone to be slow and ponderous in their communication initiatives as well as in their pace of decision making.
What do you think?
Good topic and as you say now everything is online. But online will make human lazy!…physically.
