Changing Conversations
Change happens and manifests in Conversations, both for us as humans and for organisations. As leaders and employees we are never not in conversation. Conversations are elemental in making things happen, but it is still a blind spot with a huge potential for many of us. Conversations might be the smallest biggest thing in making organisations fit for humans and fit for the future. In this explorative podcast series, hosts Katrina Marshall Dyrting and Stig Albertsen will discuss Changing Conversations together with a range of conversation evangelists. The guests will include business leaders, as well as management thinkers and thought leaders from academia and beyond.
Changing Conversations
Michele Zanini - Cutting bureaucracy out of our conversations
Michele Zanini is the co-founder of the management lab and the co-author of the book “Humanocracy: Creating Organizations as Amazing as the People Inside Them”. Michele helps organisations become more resilient, creative and engaging places to work by inventing new management practices. We have invited Michele to talk about how we can unleash people’s potential by introducing a more humanocratic organisational model.
The key topics covered in this episode are:
- How organisations can reach their full potential by introducing the right organisational model
- How conversations in post-bureaucratic companies are far more lateral than they are vertical
- How to transfer knowledge and problem-solving expertise in a very organic way
- How to create cross-pollination of expertise within an organisation
- The importance of opening up the conversation and giving people the tools to have interesting and productive conversations with each other.
