Organizations are not machines; they are living organisms operating in open systems. They must constantly adapt to their environments, evolve, and make decisions that align with both their external market conditions and their internal team dynamics.
"Self-organization is not a startling new feature of the world. It is the way the world has created itself for billions of years." – Margaret Wheatley & Myron Kellner-Rogers
If we can drive better alignment between decision-makers and builders, we will increase both the speed and the strength of impact of our organizations in the world.
Rather than controlling people like cogs in a machine, leaders can inspire commitment and create the conditions for teams to do their best work.
