Cultivating Connections in Latin America

Allan Rhodes is Chief People Officer at teal-inspired insurance broker Konsileo. He shares what he’s learned over the last three years about helping to design a self-managing organisation, including how to onboard people into a totally new way of working.

We also talk about his favourite metaphor of organisational gardening. We can be inspired by other gardens and gardeners, but what will grow best in our unique soil and climate? Allan has dual nationality as a Mexican Englishman so he shares observations on the two cultures having experienced communities exploring progressive ways of organising in both Latin America and the UK.
