Modern management is at a critical juncture, requiring a fundamental rethink of traditional practices. The old paradigms of control and bureaucratic structures are becoming obsolete. Instead of behaving like bureaucrats, managers should adopt the mindset of venture capitalists, fostering adaptability and innovation. The rise of mass collaboration signifies a shift in organizational dynamics, emphasizing the importance of change. Companies that overinvest in the status quo are at risk of failure. Embracing new ways of thinking and operating is essential for future success.
