How to Fix Organizational Silos (Part 2 – with Julian Chender)

In part 2 of their conversation, Chris, Lucie, and Julian discuss the complexities of leadership and organizational design, emphasizing the importance of understanding resistance and fostering accountability. Like many things in life, organizational design is an ongoing process that requires regular assessment and adaptation. Julian encourages leaders to engage all levels of their organization in the design process to create a culture of collaboration and effectiveness, otherwise, it’s destined to fail.  Other big things we learn today: 

-        Organizational design is a continuous process, not a one-time event.

-        Resistance is better than apathy.  Resistance indicates engagement and concern

-        Accountability is crucial for successful organizational change.

-        Regular assessments of organizational structure are essential for effectiveness.

-        The design of an organization should reflect its strategy and promise.

-        Hierarchy is not inherently negative; it can provide necessary structure.

-        Engagement from all levels of an organization is vital for successful design.
