Are organizations simply machines—structured, rigid, and predictable? Or could they be something more? In this episode, Kevin Eikenberry challenges the traditional mechanistic view of organizations and introduces a more dynamic perspective: organizations as living organisms. 🌱 Discover how shifting this mindset can help you lead more effectively in a rapidly changing world. Kevin explores: ✔️ The historical reason organizations are often viewed as machines ✔️ The limitations of a mechanistic approach ✔️ Why organizations are more like living things—adapting, evolving, and growing ✔️ Practical ways to balance structure and flexibility in leadership This idea comes from Kevin’s latest book, Flexible Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence 📖. <a href= "https://kevineikenberry.com/flexible">https://kevineikenberry.com/flexible</a>  My name is Kevin Eikenberry and I’m here to help you reach your goal as a leader and a human being with Remarkable TV and the Remarkable Leadership Podcast.
