Human-Centered Organization

The “human-centered” organization model, based on a deep cultural change, already underway in Sintetica, requires an innovative managerial philosophy, which places responsibility and merit on center, changing organizational models and behaviors at all levels. The company environment, dynamic and highly innovative in terms of ideas, projects, products and operational/management solutions, is not in line with idea of managing people according to definition and activities’ control. On the contrary, the company environment gets along much better with an approach based on increasing people’s sense of responsibility with regard to clear objectives, by exercising greater delegation and autonomy in the management of their duties. Augusto is of the opinion that Managers, therefore, shall move from a role of command and control to a more coaching one, in order to manage people, enhance talents, through delegation and accountability for results, and to reward their merit. He is of the opinion that managers should act as a driving force to transmit the organization’s values.

Augusto emphasizes human centric leadership. He believes in having strong corporate values and ethical behavior. He considers it is important that leader should be passionate to perform his role diligently. He strongly believes in involvement of all individuals in the organizations. He considers confidence and autonomy as important qualities of leader. He prioritizes respect in the organization in terms of corporate and individual priorities. He values authenticity. He believes in constructive feedback for the improvement of the employees. Augusto is calculative and believes in culture based on results. He values skills and knowledge in employees and he focuses on enhancing them. The last essential element he considers in the organization is smiling. He says, “A characteristic of our DNA is the research for quality without compromises, which is measured, first of all, by enjoying togethe
ess. A true smile is contagious and is the identity of Sintetica and its concept of “great place to work”.”
