Making Other people successful with Markus Heinen of EY

In this episode of Sparks by Ignium Phil Rose talks to Markus Heinen, Leader People Advisory Services in Germany, Switzerland and Austria @ EY about building purpose into an organisation. We discuss the concept of Holacracy* and how leaders can learn from the agility of a swarm of fish! *“Holacracy is a new way of structuring and running your organization that replaces the conventional management hierarchy. Instead of operating top-down, power is distributed throughout the organization – giving individuals and teams freedom while staying aligned to the organization’s purpose.” (https://www.holacracy.org/explore/why-practice-holacracy)
