The Authentic Organization's Podcast

Második magyar nyelvű podcast epizódunkban Kővári László és Mohácsi Zsolt arról beszélgetnek, hogy lehet-e valódi értelemben vett önmegvalósításról beszélni az üzleti életben, illetve azokról a - sajnos mára rendszerszintű -  akadályokról, amelyekkel bárkinek, aki szakmai és emberi kiteljesedésről ábrándozik, szembesülnie kell.

In this podcast, we have a conversation with our guest and friend, writer and communication adviser Zsolt Mohácsi. This episode is on trying to make meaningful posts on LinkedIn. Tune in and enjoy!

After being bought by Google, WAZE (gps-navigation software for iPhone and Android) was granted autonomy and the team largely was retained. But over time, according to their CEO Noam Bardin, the DNA of the company changed.

In his excellent article 'Why did I leave Google or, why did I stay so long' , Bardin writes: "I feel we ended up with the worst of both worlds - the challenges of a start-up (scale, access, distribution) with the constraints of a corporation (forced to use internal not-best-of-class systems, cost structure, politics, culture etc) all aggravated by the inability to quickly hire and fire.” (PayGo, Noam Bardin, Feb. 17, 2021)

In this episode, László and Gerard reflect on what it means to be part of a large corporation.
