When People Get Out of the Box: New Attachments to Co-Workers
New approaches to designing and managing organizations are changing the assumptions that have been built into traditional hierarchical organizations and the performance required by organizational participants. This paper describes the shift from the old "box and line" organization, defined by job descriptions and boss-subordinate relations, to the new team-based lateral organization. People emerging "out of the box" have different work demands, changed relations with co-workers and managers, and different perspectives on accountability and equity. This paper explores what we have learned and what we still need to learn about what happens to people and their relationships in the new, team based organization.
