What is *Under New Management* by David Burkus about?

*Under New Management* explores innovative leadership strategies that challenge outdated business practices, offering research-backed alternatives tested by real organizations. David Burkus highlights radical ideas like eliminating email, ditching performance reviews, and offering employees “quit bonuses” – all proven to boost productivity and adaptability in modern workplaces.

Who should read *Under New Management*?

This book is ideal for business leaders, HR professionals, and managers seeking evidence-based methods to modernize workflows. Entrepreneurs and change-makers will also benefit from its actionable insights on fostering creativity, reducing turnover, and restructuring legacy systems.

Is *Under New Management* worth reading?

Yes – Burkus combines academic rigor with real-world case studies, providing a practical roadmap for organizations transitioning to flexible, human-centric management. It’s particularly valuable for companies struggling with remote work dynamics or generational shifts in workforce expectations.

What are the key management concepts in *Under New Management*?

Key concepts include: - **“Pay-to-Quit” programs** (like Amazon’s offer to pay employees to leave) to retain truly committed teams - **Transparent salaries** to reduce pay inequity and boost trust - **Abolishing non-compete clauses** to encourage innovation - **Fluid organizational structures** replacing rigid hierarchies

How does *Under New Management* critique traditional offices?

Burkus argues open-floor plans and mandatory meetings often hinder productivity. He advocates for hybrid models prioritizing deep work, citing companies that saw performance gains after reintroducing private spaces and asynchronous communication.

What unique frameworks does David Burkus introduce?

The book popularizes the **“Self-Management” framework**, where teams set their own goals and salaries. Burkus also champions **“Reverse Mentoring”** (junior employees training executives on tech/Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices) and **“Idea Sharing”** between competitors to accelerate industry-wide progress.

How does *Under New Management* address remote work challenges?

Burkus recommends outcome-based performance metrics over micromanagement, using tools like weekly self-reports instead of surveillance software. He highlights firms that improved retention by letting remote employees design their own schedules.

What criticisms exist about *Under New Management*?

Some HR experts note the strategies work best for tech-savvy or creative industries, lacking guidance for manufacturing/retail sectors. Others caution that radical transparency (e.g., public salaries) requires cultural groundwork to avoid employee backlash.

Breaking the Industrial Mold: Why Modern Workplaces Need New Rules

00:00

Imagine walking into a company where employees take unlimited vacation, everyone knows each other's salaries, and the CEO claims that customers come second. Sound like chaos? These seemingly radical practices are actually driving some of today's most successful organizations. The roots of our management problems stretch back to 1898, when Frederick Winslow Taylor introduced "scientific management" at Bethlehem Iron Company, viewing workers as interchangeable parts in a machine. His 1911 book revolutionized business worldwide, but as work evolved from manual to knowledge-based, these industrial-era tools became increasingly mismatched to creative endeavors. While we've transformed technology, transportation, and communication over the past century, our management practices remain largely unchanged relics from the factory floor. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings acknowledges we're "just beginning to learn how to run creative firms," as forward-thinking organizations abandon traditional management approaches that stifle innovation and engagement. The challenge isn't that conventional practices don't work at all-they do function, much like how internal combustion engines operate at 30% efficiency. The problem is the massive untapped potential they waste through rigid hierarchies and outdated control mechanisms. What if we could design workplaces that capture more of our human capabilities? What if management itself could be reinvented for the knowledge era?
