Episode notes

The chapter explores the need to reinvent organizational structures to adapt to modern dynamics, questioning old assumptions and operating systems within organizations. It emphasizes the limitations of traditional hierarchical structures in the face of contemporary challenges and advocates for purpose-driven, dynamic work environments. By analyzing historical contexts and advocating for intentional evolution rather than arbitrary disruption, it highlights the importance of adapting, evolving, and continuously improving organizational operating systems.

He is a co-founder of responsive.org, an investor in purpose-driven startups, and a friend to misfit toys.
