Recommendation

Is it possible that self-managed, purpose-driven companies are the next “great leap forward” in organizational development? Business consultant and author Frederic Laloux uses philosopher Ken Wilber’s color-based understanding of organizational developmental theory to chart the history of “organizational paradigms.” He offers detailed examples of successful businesses operating in the future-looking “Teal paradigm” and analyzes how leaders can embrace it for their own companies. getAbstract recommends this article to CEOs and business executives looking to shake up their existing management strategies.

Take-Aways

  • Today, many companies follow the “Orange paradigm,” wherein a successful business operates like “a machine.”
  • Other companies follow the “Green paradigm”; they strive for “cooperation over competition” and espouse social responsibility, tolerance and teamwork.
  • Some businesses are moving beyond both Orange and Green to the “Teal paradigm.” These companies follow a self-management model, promote “wholeness” and have a larger sense of purpose.
