Reinventing Organizations. Frederic Laloux. In Frederic Laloux’s Linkedin’s descriptor you can read: “(living life without a job title)”. Like this, between brackets. And this is a sign of what you are going to find in his book. For everyonee who, like me, believes that hierarchical models are living their last days, it is such a relief to read Reinventing Organizations. Laloux shares company success stories which evolved towards the so-called “TEAL” stage, where self-management, efficiency, sustainability, social integration and results are aligned.
Therefore, TEAL organisations are not future reality sci-fi model. They are a model for our current here and now world. A rigid structure, based in traditional levels and silos is less efficient, more expensive and, to sum up, keeps us tied to a 50 year old social model. Obviously, very far in the past. So, why should we keep this structure now, in 2018?
