Reinventing Organizations | Frederic Laloux
Why it is included:
If Theory U is the process, this is the structural blueprint.
Laloux maps the history of human organization, showing the inevitable evolution toward "Teal Organizations,” which operate like living organisms.
We include this because it proves that "boss-less" companies are not a fantasy; they are a functioning reality.
It details the three breakthroughs of Teal: Self-Management (fluid roles), Wholeness (safe space for the emotional self), and Evolutionary Purpose (listening to where the organization wants to go).
It is the manual for building institutions that are as adaptive as nature itself.
