75% Faster Execution? The Case for Ditching the Layers with Rita McGrath

The Business of Joy by Lisa W. Miller

Episode notes

❌ 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!

✅ 75% faster execution


✅ Smarter, more motivated teams


✅ Strategy that actually keeps up with reality

If you're clinging to hierarchy, you’re already behind!
