Org Physics

I enjoy this take on organizational structures called ‘organizational physics’.

The new, emerging theory of organizations is this: Every organization has three kinds of power, and three forms of leadership, three structures. This is not a menu. There is no decision to make about having all three structures, or not. None of the three structures is optional, or nice to have. They are part of organizational physics — universal laws that apply to every organization, large or small, old or new, for profit or social.

A quick break down of the three structures:

• Formal Structure == Realm of Hierarchy
• Informal Structure == Realm of influence
• Value Creation Structure == Realm of Reputation
