  <p>The Idea in Brief</p>
  <p>To deal with an ever more complex environment, many companies increase their complicatedness, adding new coordination procedures and structures.</p>
  <p>This exacts a heavy price. Managers in the most complicated companies may spend 40% of their time writing reports and up to 60% of it in coordination meetings—leaving their employees struggling to figure out their priorities.</p>
  <p>A better response is to create an environment in which individuals cooperate to develop solutions on the ground.</p>
  <p><strong>Managers Can Do This by Applying Six Rules </strong></p>
  <p>Improve understanding of what coworkers do.</p>
  <p>Reinforce the people who are integrators.</p>
  <p>Expand the amount of power available.</p>
  <p>Increase the need for reciprocity.</p>
  <p>Make employees feel the shadow of the future.</p>
  <p>Put the blame on the uncooperative.</p>
