What if organizations would be built around people?

What if organizations would be built around people?

A few weeks ago watching the European Premiere of the movie Life on Wheels at an event hosted by Drive Sweden in Gothenburg, my take away was that we build today's cities around cars instead of building them around people.

That's exactly true. I looked outside my home office window and I saw two car parking spots in front of my house.

Reflecting more on this idea, I realized that most companies are built around business systems, production systems, the services and products they offer and no too much around people.

What if companies would be built around people?

What if organizations would focus solely on building the best teams possible?

My opinion is that a top-performing team allows a company to reach any level of performance they set for themselves. Every business should focus on this rather than setting growth objectives first and then recruiting the people to fit the organization's structure and to reach its goals.

What's your take on this? Would you agree?

Tag any organization you know is built around people. Let's celebrate them!
