Tracy Dolgin of YES Network, on the Reverse Peter Principle
Keywords:
Tags: Managing Business,
Tracy Dolgin, CEO of the YES cable sports network takes a novel approach to managing by reversing the Peter Principle. The Peter Principle pointed out that people start by being good at doing what they do, every time they get promoted they manage more and do less, to the point that they are not hands on anymore and are into meetings, shuffling paper, sending too many memos, often into political interdepartmental rivalry, making them worse at their job in terms of productive effort. Dolgin's says she created a flat organization and hired people who were good at doing and with functional expertise who loved to be hands on.

Creating a company of doers with extensive experience and great work with a flat organization
03/03/2012
Tracy Dolgin of the YES cable network takes a cue from the Peter Principle and hires people with experience who are doers and not managers. Doers can be poor managers as they get promoted and the lesson learned is to have most or all of the company's people in executing and doing as opposed to managing. The result is a flat organization with a focus on getting things done with people who excel at what they do. For larger companies it means having people spend at least 50% of their time doing rather than managing.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
