In the 23rd @BetaCodex_INTL research paper (published yesterday), I invite you to take a closer look at the 1950s and 1960s, when W. Edwards Deming taught the Japanese about production & management for quality: https://t.co/Dj3WTykupn

People who talk of leaders are obsessed with authoritarian thinking. They cannot get rid of paternalistic (“power-over”) patterns of imagining the world. They have nothing constructive to contribute to organizations or societies.

Practical theory makes people think. Great cases only make people nod (at best). Which is why "safaris" to the Silicon Valley or other "inspiring" places are dysfunctional. Sorry.

Don’t aim at being a generalist - aim at being a multi-specialist! Robust, high-performing teams are made up of multi-specialists, or “individuals with several, or many masteries” who can effortlessly slip into several different roles. “Generalist” – that sounds like “scallywag”.

Command-and-Control Management ist anti-democratic,
The ideology of management and the dominance of managers are alien to the ideas of democracy and democratic society; they are anti-democratic by definition. Thomas Diefenbach

But people ARE free.
To sum up, the ideology of management, the dominance of managers and the managerial organisation are anti-democratic, exploitative, inhumane, unjust and class-centered. If people were free, they would not choose this type of organisation. Thomas Diefenbach

Culture cannot be broken. Culture cannot be wrong. Culture does not pose a problem. Culture does not stand in the way. Culture does not force anybody. Culture is not powerful. Stop believing in "culture gurus" like Ed Schein. It's the system, stupid! https://t.co/PeB9qKXFxv

Culture is part of an organization's memory. One could also say that an organization's culture is like its shadow: The culture always suits it.
