Disruptors may not be what you think of when you think of what you want to make your organization into. However, the guiding and
defining behavior characteristics of disruptors can lead to unprecedented innovation, improved productivity and a positive and fulfilled workforce. Motivating employees through three main traits can create a win-win for both employees and employers. Disagreement can be seen as a negative trait. It creates conflict and can drag out meetings and the making of decisions. However, disagreement can also lead employees to find the best way to complete a task or to challenge the status quo to improve processes. While too many disagreements can be combative, creating a culture where employees can feel free to disagree can create long term organizational improvements. Reframing problems help solve small issues that have a big impact. The key to reframing problems, according to
Malcolm Gladwell, is to see the full picture. Don't try to fix one piece of a broken process, but try to see the whole process in another way. Giving employees time to brainstorm and problem solve allows for creative thinking that gives employees the chance to make a lasting impact on the organization and gives them a mental break from their day-to-day responsibilities. Removing constraints is key to allowing innovation to take place. Employees should never be afraid to voice opinions or ideas. Employees should feel like their opinion is valued and that their disruption would almost always be positively received in the organization. Malcolm Gladwell is a leader in the field and is a disruptor in his own right. His endorsement of a disruptor culture is significant.
