What I read today 11/4
Reading up on office organization, purchased this book “Managing the flow of technology,” and also interested in “The organization and architecture of innovation.” Both are evidence to back up why organize offices in specific ways.
Particularly interested in this idea of gatekeepers. Where these people read more, maintain more contacts outside of office, are sought out internally, and tend to be high performers and often supervisors of staff (not other managers).
Gatekeepers translate outside information into the organization's local language. They work in two steps: outside knowledge → gatekeeper → colleagues. The role is informal and usually unrecognized. Allen argued managers should identify gatekeepers, protect their time, avoid promoting them out of technical contact, and connect them deliberately to people who need them.
