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.

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: nielspflaeging.substack.com/p/once-upon-a-…

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.

I just published a BRAND NEW article about the many similarities and the "one big difference" between two two great thinkers of management in the 20th century: W. Edwards Deming and Peter Drucker. I hope you will find this interesting! nielspflaeging.substack.com/p/the-one-big-…

Like it or not: Your company has EXACTLY the culture it deserves. Question is: How can you "change the culture" if you "cannot really change the culture?" 1st thing to know: Don't believe a word of what "culture gurus" like Ed Schein said about the matter! substack.com/home/post/p-16…

Self-organization and self-management: They are NOT the same! Which is why we at Red42 focus on supporting consistent self-organization in companies. And not that other thing. Check out our website at redforty2.com
