"Reinventing Organizations" is a book by Frederic Laloux that delves into the evolution of human consciousness and how it has shaped organizational structures through history. Organizations span a range from impulsive (red) to pluralistic (green), and a new, evolutionary level called "teal" introduced. Laloux researched 50+ organizations he considers in the teal stage and describes their management practices. Teal organizations' principles are self-management, wholeness, and evolutionary purpose. Self-management removes traditional hierarchies in favor of decentralized decision-making. Wholeness encourages employees to bring their full selves to work, rather than a professional persona. Evolutionary purpose means the organization adapts and grows, driven by its own inherent direction, not a fixed goal. Laloux's inspiration can be traced back to earlier management thinkers and human development psychologists, such as Ken Wilber's Integral Theory, along with the developmental models of Clare W. Graves and the subsequent Spiral Dynamics of Don Beck and Chris Cowan. They have been criticized, lack mainstream academic support, and compared to a cult. The book has inspired business leaders to rethink traditional management practices and explore more holistic, adaptive, empowering ways to organize work, and influenced small startups to large corporations to adopt more conscious practices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinventing_Organizations Art&Text🫶ChatGPT.
