  • I want to talk about an idea I call fifth-generation management. 1/ ==Fifth-generation management is an emerging style of management we don’t know much about because it doesn’t actually exist yet== But it is guaranteed to emerge post-Covid because historically, big sharp disruptions have reliably triggered discontinuous changes in management culture, and it is already clear that this one is doing that.

  • Forwarded to me by @cambel, who also tagged @catthekin as starting to practice this fifth generation management. Feels like Wardley Maps fit in here as well, plus the Pioneers, Settlers, and Town Planners concepts. Well, just channeling Simon Wardley generally.
