Transforming the company begins with a revolution in work methods and management.
At an event organized by talenco, we collected a few years ago the testimony of Tanguy Pincemin, former Head of Retail at Google, who shared with us the best practices of the web giant in terms of management and employee engagement.
We have made it a guide – which remains inspiring today – to help you identify the new key skills that your managers need to acquire in order to successfully engage their teams and stimulate innovation within the company.
The Google culture: how to extract relevant insights for management?
First of all, we propose that you discover the foundations of Google’s corporate culture and how to extract relevant insights for management. A culture based on 3 strong pillars:
- Sharing information, where power now belongs to those who do and not to those who know
- Transparency in communication. As a vector of commitment, the transparency of communication helps strengthen the sense of belonging to the company.
- The measure: Data plays a fundamental role at Google. For management, it allows them to evaluate performance and draw up concrete action plans.
The new role of the manager
To transform itself, the company must move from a pyramidal organization to a network organization, within which managers develop their leadership role and must stimulate commitment and innovation within their teams. To do this, a new posture and new skills are required for the manager.
In this guide, you will discover the main skills that a manager must develop if they want to engage their teams:
– Offering continuous feedback to his teams
- Developing the skills of its teams and supporting career development
- Stimulate the innovation and creativity of its teams.
