04:30- When did you realize management itself was broken, not just in need of improvement?

During Silicon Valley and venture capital work, seeing venture-mode firms scale rapidly.

Market evidence showed stark contrast in growth, margins, and responsiveness.

Traditional companies consistently lagged, proving old management was unsustainable.

23:46- Why do business schools and corporate elites resist the post-managerial paradigm?
