Breaking Down Bureaucracy and Building Up Workers

Gary Hamel and Michele Zanini, cofounders of the consultancy
Management Lab, say that even though we all lament how rigid,
parochial, and time sucking bureaucracies can be, they still seem
inescapable. The managers who’ve excelled in them often don’t know
how to dismantle them — or else they don’t want to. But Zanini and
Hamel have studied and collaborated with innovative organizations,
and they outline bottom-up ways to empower workers and hack
management. Hamel and Zanini wrote the new book “Humanocracy:
Creating Organizations as Amazing as the People Inside them.”
