S1E8 - Structure – Scaffold or Straightjacket?
Manage episode 519938047 series 3701877
Most org charts are built for control, not speed. In this episode of Leadership Matters, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds dig into structure as the first execution driver – and why “restructure” shouldn’t automatically mean “someone’s losing their job”.
They explore how great leaders design structure after strategy (not around personalities and legacy boxes), why unclear decision rights kill momentum, and how to shorten the distance between customer insight and action. From post-it-note org charts and span of control, to matrix reporting and leaders with no technical background in their function, this conversation reframes structure as a scaffold that supports results, not a cage that slows them down.
If your structure makes simple things hard and slow things slower, this episode will hit uncomfortably close to home.
