>> People work for people(could be singular) and not for an organization
I have been thinking something more generic too. I know you can find something like above not just in startup in big well established organisations too. (I guess you know parshu joined his manager and not the new company from Trilogy!)
But I think what would make a good company is :
"People work for the organisation, think for the organisation and are motivated because of the organisation and not a handful of people"

WHile what you say sounds correct .. I have a feeling its next to impossible .. and a company may be better off keeping the right people so other right people stay because they want to work for the 1st set of right people ....

both of us have little experience of our own ... but its better together .. :) collective wisdom ..

Agree with you. The thing plausible is build your organization to be mostly those handful of people. They are the right people and they motivate right people, which grows itself. now one is motivated by the whole organization! (and a logical derivation would say he works for the organization but behaviors are complex to predict :) )

A bit of wisdom from a very senior person: "A company grows (even sustains) only when the people in the company grow"
As I understood by context growth meant: technically(basic), by leadership, by advancement, financially or any factor that is known to motivate people.

To add to all this, an organization is just the people in it. But as always, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

true .. but at such a high altruistic level, that it stops to hold true beyond a certain point, especially for organizations with a lot of people.

The organization becomes a creature of its own kind .. which behaves in ways stranger than any known "people".
