The DOGE approach: Why ‘slash and burn’ doesn’t work
- The U.S. government's actions often influence the private sector, as seen in the impact of Reagan's firing of air traffic controllers in 1981 and the Trump administration's approach to DEI.
- The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) method, aimed at improving productivity in the federal government, has implications for the private sector.
- Government bureaucracy stems from legislation prioritizing fairness, transparency, and honesty over speed and cost efficiency.
- DOGE believes cutting headcount enhances efficiency, but removing employees without reducing workload can slow down operations.
- Efforts to improve efficiency should involve employees to identify inefficiencies and find ways to work smarter, contrary to top-down approaches.
- DOGE's HR tactic of weekly employee reports may not always be effective, potentially leading to employees focusing on reporting 'correct' information rather than actual progress.
- Continuous layoff threats do not motivate employees and can instead lead to anxiety and decreased performance.
- Efforts to increase efficiency require time, effort, and employee engagement, rather than a 'slash and burn' approach.
- Improving efficiency should focus on collaborative problem-solving and empowering employees to enhance productivity.
- Enabling legislation and employee engagement are crucial in implementing effective efficiency practices in both the public and private sectors.
