About this listen
❌ Innovation by committee.
❌ Waiting for approval.
❌ Endless alignment meetings.
It’s not working. And Rita McGrath, C-suite strategist, professor at Columbia Business School and Founder of Valize, says it’s time to stop pretending it is!
In our latest Business of Joy episode, she breaks down what happens when teams go permissionless—and why it leads to:
✅ 75% faster execution
✅ Smarter, more motivated teams
✅ Strategy that actually keeps up with reality
We also dug into Gen Z, leadership blind spots, and how small changes (just 2% better!) lead to big reinvention.
If you're clinging to hierarchy, you’re already behind!
