When great companies grow they become more complex. This complexity starts to undermine what made the company successful: the organisation slows down, it is more difficult to get things done and it becomes a less satisfying workplace. In his work with talented people from hundreds of the world's leading companies. Kevan discovered that they spend over 80% of their time on cooperation, communication and control - and that up to 50% of that time is wasted.
Organised around 4 Cs - Cooperation, Communication, Control and Community - Speed Lead shows how to unravel the spaghetti of complex corporations. Its solutions are radical:
Don't try to act like a team if you don't need to and abolish meetings of the bored.
Take control of your communication, say no to messages you don't need and stop being available 24/7.
Keep your underwear beneath your trousers - don't be superman, let your managers manage by giving them fewer rules and more responsibility, and make 'good enough' decisions.
Design your organisation on a human scale and share practices, not values.
