Welcome to the first ever “Life in a Matrix” podcast on matrix management.
Kevan Hall, CEO of Global integration and author of the book Speed Lead talks about what is different about cooperation in large, matrix, virtual, global and other complex teams and organizations.
He thinks that too much unnecessary cooperation, communication & control makes complex companies slow, expensive to run and less satisfying to work in.
In this podcast, he argues that there is too much cooperation going on and recommends some practical steps to introduce simpler ways of cooperating that could help save you up to a day per week of unnecessary work – less teamwork – more freedom to get things done.
