Basically, I am saying that if you do NOT distinguish between a #system and a system's #culture, then "culture" becomes a chicken-and-egg problem. A myth. A curse. A god. Which it is not.

Culture is merely the shadow of a system. No more. No less.

I have written about this in my books #EssaysOnBetaVol1 and #OrganizeForComplexity.

I think there are stark differences between that article and the work of the #BetaCodex. The differences are not superficial: While that colleague applauds #flatness, we reject it, as you can see here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/flat-hierarchies-just-another-step-wrong-direction-niels-pflaeging/

So while some advocate "flat", we advocate #decentralization. We published a lot on the matter, including the #OrganizeForComplexity book and our work on #OrgPhysics. Also related: #CellStructureDesign, see https://www.redforty2.com/cellstructuredesign.

Flat hierarchies: Just another step in the wrong direction

Most managers and business leaders aim to make their organizations flatter. They try to reduce middle management, to skim the amount of hierarchical layers, or they scrap internal bureaucracy in order to achieve more efficiency, more effectiveness, and more enterprise agility.

Organizational culture is like a shadow. You cannot change it, even though it changes all the time. Culture is read-only!
Check out what the #OrganizeForComplexity book is saying about the matter (see image)!
