Yves Morieux: As work gets more complex, 6 rules to simplify

The video addresses two main enigmas: low productivity and engagement in companies despite technological advances. It critiques traditional management pillars as obsolete in handling modern business complexity. The speaker argues that both hard and soft management approaches fail to foster cooperation, leading to inefficiencies. Instead, a 'smart simplicity' approach is proposed, emphasizing understanding real work, reinforcing managers as integrators, and reducing rules to empower employees. This approach aims to manage complexity without adding complications, improving both performance and satisfaction.
