New articles
A new article has been published on our blog earlier this week:
- Mastering Group Decision-Making: Striking the Perfect Balance
Truly love this guest contribution by the always-inspiring Lisa Gill. It’s a must-read for those interested in (or struggling with) group decision-making. It includes powerful tips such as 'avoiding false harmony', 'delight in disagreement', and 'practice being in the groan zone'. Definitely make sure you check it out. Read here.
What inspired us this week
Here's something noteworthy we discovered this past week that you’re going to love:
- Management lessons from Taylor Swift
You’ll love this. Taylor Swift recently surprised her tour crew with six-figure bonuses, distributing $55 million(!) in total. That’s what we call a powerful way of showing appreciation and recognizing effort. Anyone following her management lesson? Read more on her generous act here.

Last week, I was in China on a business trip. One of the highlights? A visit to the progressive powerhouse Haier in Qingdao. While there, I spent hours on the road. In electric cars. Surrounded by electric cars. Curious, I looked it up. Turns out: almost half of all new passenger cars sold in China today are electric. It reminded me of something Jeremy Clarkson once said: “I’ve got probably 10 cars, all with V8 engines. I don’t think electric cars solve anything.” Classic Clarkson. But also:...
In preparing for the summer '25 cohort of our Corporate Rebels Masterclass, I had conversations with two founders of wildly successful self-managing organizations. Both run companies without traditional hierarchies. Because both believe in autonomy, trust, and ditching command-and-control. But when I asked them how decisions are made, I got two completely different answers. One said: "We like to reach consensus. We only move forward when everyone agrees.
