The traditional corporate structure is failing us. Industrialization created a work culture derived from efficiency but forgot about humanity. How do we reshape our models to place humans at the center? Rodney Evans, org designer, leadership coach, and podcast host at The Ready is an expert in confronting corporate norms and redesigning organizations to actually serve those who work there. She joins us today to give us insights into designing a system that is more adaptive, putting principles into practice, and giving people agency over their jobs. It's time to move past the traditional models and embrace a brave new way to work.
