Dennis Bakke is an excellent speaker with an inspiring and thought-provoking message for business leaders and employees alike.
Joy at Work tells the story of Dennis Bakke's attempts to turn his company into a place where working people can have fun, and where they have the freedoms at work that they enjoy in most of the rest of their lives, especially the ability to make or influence the decisions that affect them. To achieve this, he dissolved labor-management divisions, he pushed decision-making responsibility down to the plant floor and out into teams, and introduced a number of other innovations that made AES one of the most unconventional businesses in the world.
And it worked experienced extraordinary growth. It worked by liberating performance potential in the workforce through freedoms exercised within a rigorous system of accountability. “Freedom is the key to joy at work, but getting feedback on performance and taking responsibility for results are also crucial.†You have to track the results of decisions and actions, hold people accountable for outcomes and reward them for success.
