Governments and businesses follow two distinct approaches: the former must ensure the general welfare, while companies seek to maximize profits. A new corporate design aimed at creating solid and stable businesses that generate employment is crucial. Efficiency does not lie in overburdening employees, but in an appropriate organizational design.
"Steve Jobs popularized the practice of evaluating employee utility, firing them if they did not meet expectations. However, this way of acting creates discomfort, as has been seen in the White House," says an expert. Cutting without strategic planning can leave companies and institutions dysfunctional, affecting both workers and citizens.
It is important to share best practices from private and public management to achieve a true Welfare State. Companies must generate wealth and value, providing returns to investors, while the government must promote social welfare. Collaboration between both spheres is key to the development of sustainable communities.
Demonizing the government or companies does not contribute to progress. It is necessary to prevent crony capitalism from prevailing over healthy competition. In a world where billionaires hold power, competitiveness can influence critical public decisions. Saving costs is essential, but without compromising the quality of the product or service offered.
