72 - Organizational Self-Management with Doug Kirkpatrick


Listen Later

Can you imagine a workplace without management structure and titles, and that talks about love? Doug Kirkpatrick can, and does, particularly at Morning Star, as well as in other teams & organizations he describes to Kelly & Lara. 

It's called Organizational Self-Management and there are 2 simple principles: No Coercion and Keep Commitments. 

Try this definition of work: creating value for another human being. If that was your definition, how would that impact your leadership and organization?

Our mic drop moment: Bureaucracy is designed to destroy accountability.
