The Change Muscle: Why Organizational Design Is About Learning to Flex
When I was a kid, my father liked to fix things instead of replacing them.

Why Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast—and How Operating Models Make Strategy Stick
When Satya Nadella became CEO of Microsoft in 2014, he inherited a company known for its brilliant products but criticized for a rigid, “know-it-all” workplace culture. Early in his tenure, Nadella shared a personal story about a project where two teams with similar skills and objectives produced wildly different results. The difference wasn’t in talent or resources—it was culture. One team thrived because it embraced collaboration, curiosity, and learning from failure. The o
