Book Swap: Unblock Your Organization w/Jurriaan Kamer
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
In this book swap conversation, we discuss organizational design and unblocking barriers within companies with Jurriaan Kamer, author of the books 'Unblock' and 'Formula X'. In the context of Unblock and Maneuvering Monday, we explore the importance of leadership, metrics, employee empowerment, and corporate culture, while also sharing insights on writing and publishing books.
Some of the main themes from the conversation are
- Organizations often feel busy yet unproductive due to systemic dysfunctions
- Autonomy in teams must be balanced with alignment to organizational goals
- Leadership teams should function as cohesive units rather than individual silos
- Metrics can distort productivity and lead to unintended consequences
- Effective meetings require clear processes and engagement from all participants
- Corporate culture is shaped by behaviors and decisions, not just stated values
- Engaging employees in conversations about barriers can lead to actionable solutions
Jurriaan shares lots of great, tangible advice and methods for how to navigate when you feel stuck in organizational dysfunctions. If you would like more advice, you can visit his website or check out his services.
