Gareth Morgan menyajikan pandangan yang revolusioner tentang organisasi. Ia berpendapat bahwa semua teori manajemen berakar pada metafora yang tersirat. Metafora ini membentuk cara kita melihat, memahami, dan mengelola suatu organisasi sehari-hari. Buku "Images of Organization" karya Gareth Morgan ini mengajarkan bahwa tidak ada satu pun pandangan yang sempurna. Setiap metafora menawarkan wawasan yang kuat, namun sifatnya selalu parsial. Tantangannya kini adalah mengembangkan kemampuan untuk memanfaatkan banyak perspektif secara bersamaan. Ini adalah kunci untuk menjadi pemimpin yang efektif dalam menghadapi dunia yang penuh ambiguitas. Metafora tidak hanya memperindah bahasa, tetapi juga cara kita berpikir. Ketika kita menyebut "organisasi adalah mesin," kita menyoroti aspek rasional dan strukturalnya. Morgan mengajak kita untuk menyadari adanya distorsi yang diciptakan oleh setiap perumpamaan. Metafora pertama dan paling umum adalah organisasi sebagai mesin. Pandangan ini melahirkan sistem birokrasi yang terpusat dan berjenjang hierarki. Organisasi dirancang agar beroperasi secara efisien, andal, dan sangat terprediksi. Dasar pemikiran ini berasal dari era Revolusi Industri dan praktik militer klasik. Frederick Taylor, dengan konsep manajemen ilmiah-nya, memecah pekerjaan menjadi tugas-tugas kecil yang rutin dan spesifik. Tujuannya memastikan setiap orang bertindak persis seperti komponen mekanis. Kelebihan model mesin adalah efisiensi luar biasa dalam melaksanakan tugas yang sederhana dan stabil. Ini terbukti sukses di lini perakitan atau layanan cepat saji, seperti yang diterapkan McDonald's. Namun, kelemahannya adalah ketidakmampuan untuk beradaptasi cepat terhadap perubahan lingkungan. Model ini juga dapat menciptakan birokrasi yang kaku dan menghambat pemikiran kreatif. Pengkotak-kotakan tugas dan spesialisasi yang ketat cenderung menciptakan fragmentasi di dalam organisasi. Hal ini sering menimbulkan masalah seperti apatis dan minimnya inisiatif di kalangan karyawan. Morgan menyarankan kita harus siap beralih dari pola pikir mekanistik ini di tengah era perubahan yang cepat. Metafora kedua melihat organisasi sebagai organisme hidup. Organisasi dipandang sebagai sistem terbuka yang mutlak bergantung pada lingkungan luar. Ia memiliki "kebutuhan" yang harus dipenuhi untuk menjamin kelangsungan hidup. Konsep organisme menekankan pentingnya lingkungan dan kemampuan adaptasi. Teori ini melahirkan Teori Kontingensi, yang menegaskan bahwa tidak ada satu cara pun yang terbaik untuk berorganisasi. Bentuk organisasi yang tepat sangat bergantung pada jenis lingkungan dan tugas yang dihadapi. Stabilitas lingkungan memerlukan struktur yang mekanistik, sementara turbulensi membutuhkan struktur yang organik dan fleksibel. Organisasi organik dicirikan oleh fleksibilitas tinggi, jaringan komunikasi terbuka, dan desentralisasi kekuasaan. Contohnya adalah adhocracy atau organisasi yang berbasis tim proyek inovatif. Model ini lebih mampu beradaptasi karena fokus utamanya adalah kelangsungan hidup total, bukan sekadar pencapaian tujuan operasional. Morgan mengupas teori ekologi populasi yang menempatkan lingkungan sebagai kekuatan seleksi utama. Teori ini berpendapat bahwa hanya organisasi yang "paling cocok" yang akan bertahan di tengah kelangkaan sumber daya. Namun, pandangan ini dikritik karena dianggap terlalu deterministik dan meremehkan pilihan strategis manajemen. Batasan mendasar metafora organisme adalah asumsi kesatuan fungsional internal. Organisasi sebenarnya tidak seutuh atau seharmonis organisme biologis. Selain itu, organisasi pada dasarnya adalah konstruksi sosial yang dibentuk oleh ide dan keyakinan, bukan hanya struktur fisik yang kaku. Metafora otak menyajikan organisasi sebagai sistem pemrosesan informasi yang kompleks. Organisasi dipandang memiliki kemampuan belajar dan mengatur diri sendiri secara cerdas. Inti dari pandangan ini adalah cybernetics, yakni ilmu kontrol dan komunikasi. Terdapat konsep umpan balik negatif yang menjelaskan mekanisme regulasi diri sistematis. Ini membantu sistem mendeteksi dan mengoreksi penyimpangan dari norma yang telah ditetapkan. Pembelajaran sejati memerlukan "double-loop learning," yaitu kemampuan untuk mempertanyakan dan mengubah norma operasional yang mendasarinya. Birokrasi sering terjebak dalam "single-loop learning" yang statis dan repetitif. Morgan juga memperkenalkan konsep holografik dalam mendesain organisasi modern. Holografi menyiratkan bahwa visi dan kecerdasan keseluruhan dikodekan di setiap bagian. Ini memungkinkan adanya kecerdasan terdistribusi dan redundansi fungsi yang efektif. Organisasi yang cerdas harus menggabungkan spesialisasi yang kuat dengan desentralisasi penuh. Prinsip desain holografik mencakup requisite variety dan minimum specs. Requisite variety menuntut mekanisme internal harus mencerminkan keragaman lingkungan luar yang kompleks. Minimum specs memastikan karyawan memiliki otonomi yang cukup untuk mengatur pekerjaan mereka sendiri. Penerapan prinsip ini menciptakan "learning organizations" yang adaptif dan dinamis. Organisasi juga dapat dipahami sebagai budaya yang unik dan hidup. Metafora ini berfokus pada nilai, norma, keyakinan, ritual, dan makna bersama yang menuntun kehidupan organisasi. Budaya adalah realitas sosial yang diciptakan, dikomunikasikan, dan dipertahankan bersama-sama. Budaya ini seringkali jauh lebih kuat daripada struktur formal yang didokumentasikan. Contohnya adalah perusahaan Jepang yang sangat menekankan harmoni, komitmen total, dan rasa saling memiliki. Budaya korporat yang kuat dapat menyatukan karyawan dan memberikan panduan yang jelas saat ada ambiguitas. Budaya yang sehat mendorong inovasi dan adaptasi yang berkelanjutan dan organik. Budaya dapat dianggap sebagai DNA organisasi, yang memberikan cetak biru bagi reproduksi diri. Morgan menunjukkan bagaimana budaya terbentuk dari interaksi sehari-hari, termasuk humor, cerita, dan ritual kecil. Memahami budaya membantu manajer menyadari peran mereka sebagai pencipta realitas kolektif. Konsep Enactment of a Shared Reality menjelaskan proses penciptaan ini. Orang-orang "menjalankan" realitas bersama mereka melalui serangkaian tindakan dan interpretasi. Perubahan organisasi harus dimulai dari transformasi citra, asumsi, dan nilai-nilai inti, bukan sekadar mengganti struktur. Meskipun metafora budaya kuat, ia cenderung mengabaikan konflik dan dominasi kekuasaan. Terlalu fokus pada idealisme harmoni dapat menyamarkan isu politik dan kekuasaan yang nyata. Budaya yang terlalu kuat dan homogen justru bisa menjadi "penjara psikis" baru yang menghambat adanya kritik. Metafora politik melihat organisasi sebagai sistem yang didorong oleh kepentingan, konflik, dan kekuasaan. Pandangan ini menggeser fokus dari rasionalitas ideal ke perjuangan nyata untuk alokasi sumber daya. Organisasi adalah arena tempat individu dan kelompok mengejar tujuannya masing-masing. Kekuasaan bersumber dari banyak aspek, bukan hanya wewenang formal yang melekat pada posisi. Ini termasuk kontrol terhadap sumber daya yang langka dan kemampuan untuk menghadapi ketidakpastian. Kekuasaan juga dapat berasal dari aliansi interpersonal dan kontrol terhadap informasi atau pengetahuan. Konflik timbul karena perbedaan kepentingan, baik di tingkat individu maupun fungsional atau subkultur. Morgan membedakan berbagai sistem pemerintahan dalam organisasi, seperti otokrasi (kekuasaan absolut) dan teknokrasi (kekuasaan berdasarkan keahlian). Adanya demokrasi di tempat kerja, seperti serikat pekerja, menunjukkan upaya perimbangan kekuasaan yang terus-menerus. Kekuatan politik selalu ada dalam organisasi, meskipun tidak diakui secara eksplisit oleh manajemen. Memahami politik organisasi memungkinkan manajer untuk bersikap realistis dan strategis. Mereka dapat menganalisis kepentingan (Tugas, Karier, Ekstramural) yang berbeda untuk memprediksi perilaku yang muncul. Dengan demikian, manajemen yang efektif melibatkan negosiasi dan pembangunan koalisi yang strategis. Konflik tidak selalu bersifat disfungsional; ia dapat menjadi katalisator bagi perubahan dan inovasi yang diperlukan. Namun, manajemen harus berhati-hati agar tidak terperangkap dalam permainan kekuasaan yang berlarut-larut dan merusak. Metafora politik mengungkap drama nyata yang sering tersembunyi di balik fasad rasionalitas. Metafora ini adalah yang paling abstrak, melihat organisasi sebagai penjara yang diciptakan oleh pikiran sendiri. Kita sering terperangkap oleh ide, asumsi, dan gambaran mental yang tanpa sadar kita ciptakan. Morgan mengajak kita untuk menggali ranah alam bawah sadar organisasi. Morgan mengutip teori Freud dan Jung dalam konteks ini. Organisasi dapat mewujudkan obsesi bawah sadar terhadap kontrol dan ketertiban yang berlebihan. Kepemimpinan yang otoriter mungkin merefleksikan dinamika keluarga patriarkal yang telah direpresi. Organisasi juga dapat menjadi sarana pencarian keabadian kolektif atau proyeksi ketakutan. Beberapa praktik organisasi, seperti obsesi pertumbuhan yang tidak sehat atau kebutuhan akan warisan, mungkin didorong oleh kecemasan akan kematian. Metafora ini memberikan wawasan mendalam tentang dinamika irasional yang memengaruhi keputusan strategis. Kelemahan metafora ini adalah kecenderungannya untuk mengabaikan faktor eksternal dan terstruktur yang nyata. Fokus yang terlalu kuat pada psikodinamika dapat membuat kritik menjadi nihilistik atau pesimistis. Namun, metafora ini vital untuk memahami mengapa organisasi sulit melakukan perubahan yang rasional. Metafora ini memandang organisasi sebagai pola perubahan yang berkelanjutan, bukan entitas yang statis. Perubahanadalah logika yang tidak terhindarkan, yang membentuk dan mengubah realitas organisasi secara konstan dari waktu ke waktu. Ini secara langsung menantang pandangan linier tentang perencanaan dan kontrol. Morgan memperkenalkan konsep Autopoiesis, di mana organisasi adalah sistem yang memproduksi dan mereproduksi dirinya sendiri secara tertutup. Organisasi cenderung berinteraksi dengan proyeksi diri mereka sendiri, menciptakan narcissism organisasi yang merusak. Mereka seringkali memiliki "identitas" yang menghambat adaptasi dengan dunia luar. Konsep Chaos and Complexity menyoroti perubahan yang bersifat non-linier dan tak terduga. Pergeseran kecil dapat menghasilkan konsekuensi besar yang tak terduga dalam sistem yang sangat kompleks. Organisasi harus belajar untuk mengelola di tengah ketidakpastian, yakni dengan menemukan pola-pola yang muncul di dalam kekacauan. Konsep Dialectical Change menekankan perubahan yang didorong oleh kekuatan yang saling berlawanan (contradiction). Misalnya, ketegangan antara kontrol dan otonomi dapat memicu krisis yang melahirkan struktur baru. Metafora ini menuntut manajer untuk merangkul paradoks yang ada dalam organisasi. Metafora terakhir adalah Instrumen Dominasi, yang secara kritis menyoroti sisi eksploitatif dan manipulatif organisasi. Organisasi besar sering dilihat sebagai alat kekuasaan yang digunakan untuk mencapai kepentingan sekelompok kecil pemodal atau elit. Fokusnya adalah pada dampak negatif di tempat kerja dan masyarakat luas. Morgan mengkritik bagaimana organisasi menggunakan dan mengeksploitasi karyawan. Ini termasuk bahaya kerja, penyakit akibat kerja, dan stres mental yang ditimbulkan oleh ritme kerja yang brutal. Organisasi memperkuat sistem kelas dan kontrol sosial di dalam masyarakat. Peran perusahaan multinasional disoroti sebagai kekuatan global yang dominan. Mereka menggunakan sumber daya dan memengaruhi kebijakan ekonomi global demi keuntungan finansial mereka sendiri. Morgan mempertanyakan etika di balik operasi global yang sering mengorbankan komunitas lokal. Meskipun kuat untuk kritik yang radikal, metafora ini harus digunakan bersama dengan metafora yang lain. Ia cenderung mengabaikan potensi organisasi untuk kebaikan, kolaborasi, dan kemanusiaan. Metafora dominasi merupakan perpanjangan dari metafora politik, tetapi dengan fokus etika dan moral yang lebih tajam. Kekuatan utama buku Morgan terletak pada pluralisme metaforisnya yang kaya. Buku ini memberdayakan pembaca untuk "membaca" organisasi secara mendalam dari berbagai sudut pandang yang berbeda. Tidak ada satu pun lensa yang dapat menangkap keseluruhan kompleksitas organisasi. Manajer yang mahir harus mampu berganti lensa tergantung pada situasi yang dihadapi. Mereka perlu melihat organisasi sebagai mesin, organisme, budaya, otak, dan sistem politik secara simultan. Morgan menyarankan agar kita menggunakan metafora sebagai alat diagnostik yang aktif dan terintegrasi dalam praktik. Tujuan utamanya bukan untuk menemukan teori yang "benar" secara absolut, melainkan untuk melihat organisasi sebagai fenomena yang kaya, kompleks, dan multidimensi. Inilah inti dari kebijaksanaan organisasi modern yang diperlukan saat ini. Kemampuan untuk mengintegrasikan pandangan-pandangan ini adalah kunci untuk memimpin di dunia yang terus berubah dengan cepat.

There's a deep fake of Gareth Morgan doing the rounds on social media, and it is so sophisticated, even Gareth Morgan was taken aback.

Former economist and investment manager Gareth Morgan was caught off-guard by an AI deepfake using his voice and likeness, and he's warned people to be careful. The investment scam made the rounds on Facebook and Instagram and encouraged Kiwis to invest in a vaguely-defined US-based scheme. Gareth Morgan says his daughter showed him the scam - and it almost had him fooled. "The only giveaway is the backdrop, I don't recognise the house behind me. But everything else - the face, the lip movements, the voice, obviously - I can't tell." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Screenwriter and playwright Abi Morgan has worked across a diverse array of themes and genres for more than 25 years. She wrote the television series The Split, a domestic drama involving divorce lawyers, and created the psychological Netflix series Eric. Her other television credits include Sex Traffic, for which she won a BAFTA for Best Drama serial in 2005, and The Hour, the television news drama which earned her an Emmy award in 2012. Her film credits include The Iron Lady, which starred Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher; historical drama Suffragette; and Shame, co-written with the director Steve McQueen. Her recent book This Is Not A Pity Memoir recounts her husband's recovery after serious illness, and her own treatment for cancer. Abi Morgan tells John Wilson about her childhood in a theatrical family; her father was the director Gareth Morgan and her mother is the actor Pat England. She chooses the author, screenwriter and director Nora Ephron as an important influence, and particularly the film Heartburn which Ephron adapted from her semi-autobiographical divorce novel Heartburn. Abi Morgan also recalls the work of television screenwriter Kay Mellor, whose series Band Of Gold and Playing The Field also influenced her own writing. She describes how seeing an exhibition of the work of artist Cornelia Parker, including her installation Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View, inspired some of Abi's early theatre work including her plays Splendour and The Mistress Contract.
