Professor Karl Moore from McGill, who did that interview with Michael Porter the other day on the future of business’ role in society, is back with a TED talk he gave on the future of post-modern management. He notes that as the internet creates a system of “algorithmic authority” and tears down the rigidity of authority, “leadership” and “management” will have less impact on team-building than partnership, especially for those under age thirty-five.
Given the role of larger and larger bureaucracies in many key industries, this reality will be quite disruptive.
