Awesome “Must-see” video by Gary Hamel. Contains a lot of the wisdom of Vineet Nayar of HCL, who wrote the book “Employees First, Customers Second”.

Btw: have invited Vaneet to Innotribe at Sibos Toronto on Corporate Culture. Hope he accepts.

I’d love to get to a stage where

Innotribe is the place

where you discover

what futures emerge

on the fringe

"Modern” management is one of humanity’s most important inventions, Gary Hamel argues. But it was developed more than a century ago to maximize standardization, specialization, hierarchy, control, and shareholder interests.

While that model delivered an immense contribution to global prosperity, the values driving our most powerful institutions are fundamentally at odds with those of this age—zero-sum thinking, profit-obsession, power, conformance, control, hierarchy, and obedience

don’t stand a chance against community, interdependence, freedom, flexibility, transparency, meritocracy, and self-determination.

It’s time

to radically rethink

how we mobilize people

and organize resources

to productive ends

It’s one one-line after the other, this talk is so inspirational. Check-out:

• Fit for future, but also fit for human beings
• We have to re-invent management
• Management legacies
• Change has changed
• Hyper-competition
• You have to earn your place in the market every single day
• Knowledge itself is becoming a commodity
• How fast am I creating new knowledge
• An organization where people are willing to bring the gifts of their creativity and passion
• Real reverse accountability
• Holding your managers accountable for you succeeding in your job
• Challenge management dogma
• What problem is management trying to solve?
• How do you turn human beings into semi-programmable robots?
• You have to have aspiration, you have to be contrarian, you have to be willing learning from the fringe
• The future happens on the fringe
• Management is a feudalistic system
• The web is sort of the global operating system of innovation

We have to bake

into our management values

the deep web values of

Openness,

Meritocracy,

Flexibility,

and Collaboration

• We have been told that we can’t change our organization: that’s nonsense
• Being resilient as human beings

We hope

that you become

a champion

for the future
