A No-Nonsense Leader transforming corporate strategy into practical results
In this episode, we talk to Michele Zanini about humanocracy. Mikkel emphasizes the limitations of traditional bureaucratic organizations and explains the concept of humanocracy, which focuses on maximizing human potential rather than efficiency and control. We explore the principles of ownership, meritocracy, internal markets, experimentation, community, openness and balance that underpin humanocracy. And we discuss examples of successful applications at Haier and Roche that show how these principles can foster innovation, engagement, profitability, and growth.

2 周Really enjoyable podcast. I loved how thorough Michele Zanini was in talking about Haier, Buurtzorg, Roche and others - a state of the union about platform orgs / zero distance / RenDanHeYi / autonomous mgmt. Particularly liked the question at the end too around why this thinking hasn't proliferated, something I've always wondered about. Good answer on the traditional means to achieve success being easier for CEOs. I also like there is an accessible name I can give for this way of working when I speak to people who aren't org design nerds - Humanocracy! Didn't know of the book but its now on my list.

3 周Very good, you really changed from Agile practices adept into a holostic approach. Those bureaucratic aristocrats is a nice labeling. (I don't agree on buurtzorg but that is Dutch local side experience)
