  • I think top-down organizations got started because the bosses either knew more or they had access to more information. None of that applies now. Everybody has access to identical amounts of information.
  • Now a global company means a company composed of teams that are themselves dispersed. So every team can be global in many senses, not just the company.
  • a C.E.O. needs to focus more on the platform that enables collaboration

  • By having technologies that allow people to see what others are doing, share information, collaborate, brag about their successes — that is what flattens the organization.
  • I think the role of the boss is to then work on those collaboration platforms

      Creating a formal organization was key at the time. Creating the formal organization is easier now, thanks to better means for coordinating action: you still need a network of committed people, but not the formality.
  • They were designed and tasked, not with reinforcing market forces, but with supplanting and even resisting the market

  • They listened closely to their customers. They carefully studied market trends. They allocated capital to the innovations that promised the largest returns. And in the process, they missed disruptive innovations that opened up new customers and markets for lower-margin, blockbuster products.
  • the ability of human beings on different continents and with vastly different skills and interests to work together and coordinate complex tasks has taken quantum leaps.
  • We have both a need and an opportunity to devise a new form of economic organization, and a new science of management, that can deal with the breakneck realities of 21st century change.
  • the even bigger challenge of creating structures that motivate and inspire workers
  • It will have to push power and decision-making down the organization as much as possible, rather than leave it concentrated at the top

  • Together, they set the company's goals for the next 100 days. And they go around the table to hear how each staffer -- execs included -- did on his personal deliverables over the last 100 days. They ask each other questions, weigh in with their own perspectives on their colleagues' work
  • staffers work directly with their managers to lay out their individual plans for the next 100 days and actually grade themselves on their last 100-day plan
