Do people feel as though they can be themselves at work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Reinventing Organizations<\/em>, business consultant Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Laloux identifies many commonalities among the companies included in his research.

Tolle asserts, and Laloux would agree, that engaging as our whole, authentic selves not only benefits us but is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-power-of-now\/solution-part-3#humans-lack-of-presence-is-harming-the-planet\">necessary for the world\u2019s well-being<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laloux points out that, in modern organizations, everyone is forced to close off part of themselves in order to present a mask of professionalism. Managers treat employees as parents would a child. On the other hand, companies with visionary cultures promote authenticity at work, encouraging people to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/living-in-the-present-moment\/\">be fully present<\/a>, quirks and all. With no hierarchy, colleagues relate to each other as adults and are able to see each other as people, not merely cogs in a machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/built-to-last\"><em>Built to Last<\/em><\/a>, Collins and Porras take a different view. The companies in their study benefit from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/built-to-last\/chapters-6-7#the-cult-like-characteristics-of-visionary-companies\">hiring people who are already in alignment with the company\u2019s culture<\/a> and indoctrinating them to feel like members of an exclusive group. Collins and Porras argue that assimilating workers into a culture\u2014rather than accepting their authentic selves\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/built-to-last\/chapters-6-7#how-cultish-culture-supports-progress\">allows a company to trust them with autonomy while upholding the organization\u2019s values<\/a>.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without having to impress a boss every day, workers are more likely to simply be themselves. But, <strong>in order for people to bring their whole selves, the company must be a safe space to do so<\/strong>. Laloux shows that visionary companies accomplish this by training everyone in leadership skills such as listening, coaching, gratitude, and authenticity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Encouraging colleagues to open up about themselves requires the courage to set aside the management\/employee power dynamic, but it can reap great benefits. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/dare-to-lead\"><em>Dare to Lead<\/em><\/a>, Bren\u00e9 Brown gives the example of Air Force colonel Dede Halfhill, whose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/dare-to-lead\/chapter-1-2#talking-about-difficult-feelings\">honest conversations with her airmen about their emotions<\/a> successfully stemmed a drop in performance by revealing their feelings of exhaustion and loneliness.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visionary organizations also create avenues for personal development by allowing for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/keep-learning-keep-growing\/\">learning and growth<\/a> at company meetings, onboarding sessions, and in the workplace. (Shortform note: Because everyone in a visionary organization is expected to take on some leadership responsibility, the learning curve may be steep. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-first-90-days\"><em>The First 90 Days<\/em><\/a>, Michael Watkins lays out even more areas of training than Laloux mentions, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-first-90-days\/chapter-2#the-learning-agenda\">the company\u2019s history, its present composition, and where it\u2019s currently heading<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does your organization treat employees as adults or children?
