Teams are the new focal point of organizational design and organizational function. Motivation - quantified as “energy” by Proijal Ghatak and Onloop - is the key to team performance. Technology is advancing to the point where motivation can be monitored using AI, and self-reported feedback and other nuanced approaches to understanding and improving motivation levels are delivering real progress. Purpose portfolios can align individual motivations with organizational goals, capturing the role of purpose in driving productivity and engagement.Projjal mentioned companies experimenting with holocracy and distributed flat organizations, although scaling such structures was noted as challenging due to inherent human tendencies to seek direction and guidance. The conversation also explored frameworks like RAPID (Bain’s Responsible, Accountable, Perform, Informed, Decide model) and spans of control, highlighting strategies for optimizing organizational effectiveness and managerial efficiency.Projjal emphasized the importance of respect and trust in leadership dynamics, noting that effective leaders inspire motivation and engagement through their actions and guidance. The role of AI in augmenting managerial capabilities and increasing spans of control was also discussed, highlighting the potential for technology to enhance organizational structures and improve managerial effectiveness.Resources: The Post-Managerial Era (Blog Post) Connect with Hunter Hastings on LinkedIn Connect with Projjal Ghatak on LinkedInonloop.comShow Notes:0:00 | Intro0:57 | Problem to Solve3:02 | Collaborative Software Tools Shift Mindsets9:31 | Great Breakthrough: Products Addressing Management Problems16:44 | HR's Original Design: Suppressing Dissent, Keeping Control17:44 | Teams as Core Units: Hybrid, Remote and Onsite21:41 | Entrepreneurial Intent Without Clear Goals25:11 | Feedback Loop26:19 | New Performance Management Project 31:25 | How Do Projjal Detect Motivation?35:29 | Experimenting with 'Things That Matter'38:15 | Service Orientation41:04 | Organization and Firm Structure50:40 | Right Hemisphere Dominant VS Left Hemisphere Dominant 53:19 | Wrap-Up
