In this growing corporate world of cogs and gears we have an ever increasing desire to make things and people modular. So long as we speak about things – its ok… To add people in to the mix would be a mistake.

People are not designed with a repetitive nature. They appreciate discipline but not repetition. People can think, review and analyze. So long as people can do all that at work they become efficient but when a manager or a lead limits those capacities for short-term tacts and gains for the ease of control or quick deliverables – the approach bears very bitter fruits in time.

To make your people efficient at work – make the things they do modular, but not them. You will win them over.
