Economic headwinds, market pressures and uncertain outlooks are taking companies back to the virtues of strategic focus, operational efficiency and organizational simplicity. In that context, many are (re)discovering the virtue of the “flat” organization marked by fewer layers of management, wider spans of control, and more collaborative vs. hierarchical structures. So, are (middle) managers indeed overrated and standing in the way of higher performance? Join us in this episode of the Jenoir leadership podcast where we ask the question: “When does flat become too flat?” https://www.economist.com/business/2021/10/02/why-companies-need-middle-manager

How to get along with and “navigate” a powerful and demanding boss is one of the enduring questions of high performance leadership. The WSJ’s journal story about Zach Kirkhorn, the CFO of Tesla describes Mr. Kirkhorn as exceptionally capable in this domain. In fact, Mr. Kirkhorn’s ability to work well with “larger-than-life” CEO, Elon Musk, is a master class on the topic. Please join host Christian Clement-Schlimm and me as we discuss what we can learn from Zach Kirkhorn and his approach to working well with a powerful and demanding boss and moving important initiatives forward in the process. https://www.wsj.com/articles/tesla-executive-elon-musk-cfo-zach-kirkhorn-b1998ae7
