How does emergent intelligence make Amazon more successful?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emergent intelligence is the concept of a team solving problems together without a central figure coordinating the project. Knowing how emergent intelligence works can grow your organization\u2019s strengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn how Amazon used the concept of emergent intelligence to its advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-amazon-s-big-picture-planning-enables-emergent-intelligence\">Amazon\u2019s Big-Picture Planning Enables Emergent Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/team-of-teams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Team of Teams<\/em><\/a>, Stanley McChrystal contends that the most effective organizations <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/team-of-teams\/part-2#the-role-of-emergent-intelligence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">display <em>emergent intelligence<\/em><\/a>\u2014this is when a collection of teams can solve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/complex-problem\/\">complex problems<\/a> without any central part of the organization coordinating their actions. By allowing lower-ranking team leaders to propose the specific goals of their own teams\u2019 work, Amazon creates the conditions for this emergent intelligence to arise. Individual teams know better than executives how their specific team can be most effective, so they\u2019re better suited to dictate their actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McChrystal also notes that workers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/make-better-decisions\/\">make better decisions<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/team-of-teams\/chapter-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">when they understand how the organization works as a whole<\/a>. At Amazon, high-ranking executives are the ones with the most big-picture knowledge of how the different parts of the company work together. This makes them well-suited to set overarching company goals and prioritize the goals of the teams below them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, McChrystal notes a potential risk of the Amazon planning process: To be effective, the members of <em>all <\/em>teams (not just executives) need to understand how the organization works holistically\u2014at least at a basic level. If you implement a planning process like this, make sure that executives give their subordinates enough broad information about the organization for them to formulate the best goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-that-said-it-s-possible-to-take-information-sharing-too-far-it-would-be-a-waste-of-everyone-s-time-if-all-leaders-had-to-be-aware-of-every-little-detail-of-what-goes-on-in-the-company-this-is-likely-why-amazon-only-has-these-big-picture-planning-sessions-twice-a-year\">That said, it\u2019s possible to take information-sharing too far. It would be a waste of everyone\u2019s time if all leaders had to be aware of every little detail of what goes on in the company\u2014this is likely why Amazon only has these big-picture planning sessions twice a year.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-big-picture-planning-requires-detailed-information\">Big-Picture Planning Requires Detailed Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One way in which Amazon\u2019s big-picture planning process is different from that of other companies is how it incorporates another one of their guiding principles: <strong>Leaders should constantly probe for details until they understand their subordinates\u2019 work at a granular level. <\/strong>Whereas most managers only care about <em>what<\/em> their subordinates do, Amazon leaders concern themselves with <em>how<\/em> their subordinates get things done. This way, they can do everything in their power to ensure that those below them are making progress toward the company\u2019s goals. If they see their team is using an ineffective strategy, they may choose to intervene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, whereas a traditional head of a marketing department would tell their subordinates to launch an email newsletter and report back when it\u2019s done, an Amazon manager would request much more information before ordering their team to prioritize the newsletter. They might ask their team to sketch out a strategic timeline for the first few months of the newsletter, request a more detailed budget breakdown, and ask to see a sample email before giving their team the go-ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Counterpoint: Beware of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/micromanagement-in-the-workplace\/\">Micromanagement<\/a><\/strong><br><br>When engaging with the granular details of your subordinates\u2019 work, be careful not to cross the line into <em>micromanagement<\/em>. In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-dichotomy-of-leadership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Dichotomy of Leadership<\/em><\/a>, Jocko Willink and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/leif-babin-navy-seal\/\">Leif Babin<\/a> warn that leaders who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/accepting-responsibility\/\">take responsibility<\/a> for their team\u2019s success <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-dichotomy-of-leadership\/1-page-summary#dont-micromanage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">may try to control everything their subordinates do<\/a> to accomplish that goal. However, such a micromanaging manager teaches subordinates that their way is the only \u201cright\u201d way to do things, encouraging the team to wait for instructions instead of inventing their own paths to success.&nbsp;<br><br>For this reason, Willink and Babin recommend that managers be much more hands-off than Amazon managers. If a manager even checks in on their team\u2019s progress too frequently, their subordinates may perceive it as micromanagement.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does emergent intelligence mean?
