In the natural world, compare a troop of monkeys with the alpha male at its head, a flock of geese flying in formation, ants scurrying around doing their own thing together, and a family of beavers building a dam. Four fundamental forms of organizing.

How about growing a company qualitatively instead of quantitively—give better quality, or better service, for which you can charge an honest premium?

To quote my friend @SRuhle -- "We need to expand the table, and add a seat. "
We all win, when more people contribute to the economy, and statistically, there are just not enough college educated, successful white men, to DRIVE GRP over next 30 yrs. We need all of us.
“The most profitable companies in America are diverse and inclusive,” says CEO of @OperationHOPE @johnhopebryant. “We have got to figure out that we’re better together. That is the only answer.”

"Managerial ventriloquism" is a common practice in the health & case sector. It's where leaders mention others (often those in higher authority) when they ask people to do things. Eg, "the Regional Office needs this by the close of play" or "the Director says we have to do this".
Over time, a culture builds where:
A) managers speak for others too frequently, undermining their own credibility &
B) responsibility keeps being passed to someone else, with no one willing to take ownership of decisions.

🧵20 years ago, if you told me federal election spending was going to rise by more than $10 billion I would have been skeptical. But, thanks to the Supreme Court’s #CitizensUnited decision (now 14 years old) that’s exactly where we are - $16.4B in 2020. campaignlegal.org/update/how…

Take note, U.S. Government! Germany is a global economic powerhouse that’s already at 55% power generation from clean energy. There’s absolutely no reason we can’t do the same here at home!

Say organization and we see #leadership. That’s why those charts are so ubiquitous. They show us who sits on top of whom, but not who talks with whom, when, and about what. Why are we so fixated on formal authority?

I wanted the first piece that I posted in 2024 to be hopeful, practical & profound. So I chose @adamkahane 's recent article on radical collaboration. Radical collaboration is about working together with diverse others from across the system in a way that fundamentally transforms that system. It not only focuses on the good & harmony of the whole, but also embraces conflict & power issues. We need radical collaboration as system leaders to create the relational conditions (affordances) for the big changes ahead: jabsc.org/index.php/jabsc/ar…
