going to try to do a weekly “5 minute Friday” audio series going forward
key concepts I cover in this snippet:
functional fluidity (vs rigidity) is is a more accurate view of people
there are organizations that tend to enable (vs hinder) fluidity
legacy non-digital companies grow employees by encouraging a 360 view
tech companies have different strengths, but miss out on this angle
leaders ultimately have to lead cross-functionally at the highest levels
I’d love to hear from listeners about their observations on blurring functional boundaries - please chime in via comments👇. And if you enjoyed this post, please consider subscribing.
