Leadership Teams of the Future: Acting Like Org Designers I recently listened to an insightful episode of "At Work with the Ready" that delved into what it truly means for leadership teams to function as organizational designers. The discussion was a masterclass in understanding how the role of a leader has evolved—and where it’s heading. One of the standout moments for me was the commentary on the transformation of leadership over the last century. It was fascinating to consider how great leaders have adapted and redefined their roles to meet the changing needs of their organizations and the broader societal context. At this moment in history, we find ourselves in a unique pattern—one where the traditional separation between management and execution is no longer sustainable. The complexity of today’s business environment demands that leaders move beyond the Sunshine Zone, where they are solely focused on steering the ship from afar. Instead, they need to have their hands on the work of the business itself. The episode emphasized that because of the level of complexity we are operating in, we can no longer afford to separate thinking, judgment, and strategic decision-making from the actual work of the business. Leaders can no longer be removed from the daily grind; they must engage directly with the doing. This means that both leaders and doers need to embody both thinking and doing—collaborating closely to ensure that critical strategic moves are deeply integrated with the realities on the ground. It’s a powerful reminder that the future of leadership isn’t about standing apart from the work, but about diving into it. By acting as organizational designers, leaders can reshape their roles and their organizations to be more responsive, human-centric, and capable of navigating the complexities of the modern world. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend giving this episode a listen. It’s a must for anyone serious about evolving their leadership style to meet the demands of the future. https://lnkd.in/gkJ_wZGS #Leadership #OrganizationalDesign #FutureOfWork #TheReady
