I loved "Reinventing Organizations" as well. It's interesting because some of the Teal ways of doing things rubbed me the wrong way because they felt too "touchy-feely" and I thought that my coworker would never go for this. I tried to have enough self-awareness to realize that maybe that's how people stuck in the Orange way of doing things feel about Green practices. Like you, I would love to hear from people who are working in a Teal environment.
If you're interested in other books that talk about the future of work I would recommend Creativity, Inc by Ed Catmull (about how Pixar works) and Work Rules! by Laszlo Bock (about how Google HR works). They're both fascinating insights into how two modern companies try to do their best work.
Would love some recommendations if you have any as well.
- boothead 11y agoOne recommendation from a perhaps unexpected quarter for new working styles is Gen. Stan McChrystal's superb book "Team of Teams". It covers his tenure running special forces in Iraq and how he rebuilt his organization into one where decisions were pushed as far to the edges as possible and how he tried to remove himself from as many of the decision making loops as possible.
