Herman shares his journey into the field, beginning with his early experiences in management consulting at Arthur D. Little.

Throughout the conversation, Herman discusses the core themes of his recent book, "The Organization Design Guide," co-authored with Frederic Wirtz, which aims to provide leaders with the tools and insights needed to navigate the complexities of organizational change successfully. The episode is packed with practical advice for CEOs and managers looking to improve their organization's design and effectiveness.

“Leadership is where you have, not necessarily a large organization, but increasing scope and increasing impact, while bringing lots of people along with you.” In this milestone episode of the podcast, James Stanier returns for the third time to discuss his latest book, “Become a Great Engineering Leader.” We explore the role of an engineering leader and delve deep into the nuances of engineering leadership. James explains the difference between an engineering leader and an engineering manager through the lens of the three levels of warfare: strategy, operational, and tactical. We then discuss the importance of organizational chart design and some best practices, including Conway's law and how to avoid politics. James also talks about the importance of time management, always having a long-term view of your work (long-termism), and the critical role of writing in leadership. We discuss important approaches such as one-way vs. two-way doors and balancing between writing vs. bias for action. Finally, James explains the importance of strategic thinking, why a strategy is not necessarily a plan, and how an engineering leader can communicate their strategy effectively. He also provides practical tips for upcoming engineering leaders and discusses how we should all navigate a career in technology.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: I was hired at a medium sized company as a staff level IC a few months back and a big reason I accepted the job was because I would be reporting directly to the CTO. I took a significant paycut in exchange for the opportunity to learn and grow directly under this leader, as this is a career path I am interested in. Three months later and without any heads up, I was reassigned to a different manger one rung lower in the org chart. One month after that, my new manager abruptly left the company. Still don't know why. I was then reassigned to a leaf-node manager and I am now several hops removed from the CTO. So far I haven't said much because rocking the boat too early in a new gig has gone poorly for me in the past. In hindsight this was probably a mistake but I'm afraid I missed the opportunity to say “hey now, wait a second…”. I don't want to hurt this current manager's feelings by telling them I don't want to report to them, but also I am now both severely underpaid and reporting to someone who is technically at a lower career level than I am. What do? I'm a manager in a company which I joined after college. I've been here for 16 years. We have grown to 180 employees but still work like a startup in many senses, like talking multiple responsibilities. So although I manage a team I'm still hands in the code at least 50% of the time. I know most of tech stack and services but am jack of all master of none type. Recently, management has been pushing me to take more technical responsibility. I want to do that, but it is challenging and takes more time. My CTO is super fast and churns out CODE like a machine and I feel much slower than them. The work is pretty decent and challenging. I get to work on new stuff but have gotten comfortable here. When I think of looking for a change and look at the expectations from other companies they are technically challenging. I worry I have missed out on learning new things by staying so long at one place. What should I do, stay or move on? I haven't interviewed for a new job in 11 years, so that's another fear I have.

Jeff discusses the limitations of traditional org charts, which are rooted in military hierarchy. The traditional org chart has too many roles for small companies, making it impossible to implement. 9:33: Limitations of org charts and accountability charts in small businesses. Jeff argues that the structure is overkill for small businesses, as it leads to high overhead costs and offers limited scalability. Small businesses need nimble, quick actions, not bureaucratic tools. 14:13: Evolving organizational structures for business growth. Jeff discusses the limitations of traditional org charts and suggests alternative approaches, such as using contractors instead of employees. He suggests using a hybrid approach with a strategist, manager/architect, and tactical resources for efficient execution. 19:17: Using "ops chart" to manage organizations, with a focus on its benefits and how it can be used to measure performance. Mercer describes an "ops chart" as a tool for organizing and managing an organization's functions, useful for performance measurement and feedback. 22:35: Creating a new organizational structure for a company with three main areas (offers, products, and systems) and various roles within each area. Mercer describes a three-headed structure for the company, with three main areas: offers, products, and systems. He envisions a chart with these three main areas across the top, with strategy, management, and tactical areas within each one. 26:50: Implementing a new organizational structure using a matrix system. The hosts are testing new approaches and will continue sharing insights with the audience.
In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hi :-) I work as a Senior Data Scientist, and about half a year ago I joined a start up that was founded by a large corporation. And while this job comes with the perks of a bigger company - like good salary, paid overtime, … , - it also comes with its organizational overhead and politics: We are only about 30 people but already a quarter of us acts as managers. I write “act” because the official org chart is flat (with the CEO at the top and the rest of us directly underneath). The unofficial org chart is hidden and depending on who you speak with, you get their view point on how roles and responsibilities should look like. As a result, I'm left with putting together the pieces to build a picture that somewhat resembles the truth. So far, I've concluded that we have multiple (!) management layers, that there's a power war taking place in the middle management layer, and that you can make up your own titles that mean NOTHING, because no one has any official, disciplinary authority over any one, but that are still to be respected! What a great opportunity for job crafting :-D To make things worse, I prefer and come from organizations that have a truly flat hierarchy. For example, I'm used to step outside of my role should the situation require it (like doing some managerial tasks, supporting sales, …) and that I can speak my mind, irrespective of what the title of the person is who I'm talking to. While this was beneficial in my previous positions, this does not work well here! And while I understand that adapting my behavior would be more in line with the company culture, I find this extremely difficult. On the one hand, because of the hidden org chart, on the other because we are all fully remote and I rarely see people from other teams. To avoid accidentally stepping on anyone's toes, my current solution is to stick my head in the sand and focus on my coding. However, this leaves me disgruntled because I feel like I'm not being myself, and that I'm withholding a viable part of my skill set: to see the bigger picture and serve the company as a whole instead of just implementing tickets. Please help, I do not understand how this company works :'-D How would you navigate the situation? I don't want to quit because, individually, my coworkers are super nice, and the work is really interesting. All the best

RevOps is the backbone of a company. It touches every business function: marketing, sales, customer success, finance, operations, and IT. But when a role touches a little bit of everything, how do you concisely define what that role itself is? Where does it fit in your company structure? Who should RevOps report to? We talk through all of these things in this episode with Brandon Dith-Berry. We then move on to discussing the systems architecture that Brandon has implemented at his company Zeni: what are the different systems they're running, and how they structure and pass data between their CRM system (HubSpot), their billing system, their user analytics system, and their custom-built internal tools.

Russell Pollitt, S.J., approaches his homilies in a manner unlike any other preacher the “Preach” team has yet seen. While some rely on verbatim manuscripts, detailed linear plans, or simply loose notes, when this South African Jesuit priest sits down to write his homily after praying on the Scriptures, the first thing he does is produce an org chart (or organogram, as it's better known outside the U.S.).” But, by the time Russell stands in front of the congregation to deliver his homily, the organogram has served its purpose and is nowhere to be seen. “I get a picture of that organogram in my head,” he says, “so that on a Sunday, I can stand up and I can preach without notes,” Russell is the superior of the Jesuits in Johannesburg and the director of the Jesuit Institute South Africa. For the First Sunday of Lent, Year B, Russell chooses to center his homily on a seemingly straightforward question: “What is Lent?” He offers three central lenses through which to consider the question. Think of Lent, he says, as a new start, a reminder and our desert. In his conversation with Ricardo after the homily, Russell elaborates on his organizational methods for preaching and reveals how his brother's suicide and presiding over the funeral of a toddler who drowned, compelled him to rethink his “own style” of preaching and even his “own theological framework,” he says. “It's really heightened my own sensitivity to being with people who are bereaved, and preaching at a funeral.” Read the full text of this week's homily and Scripture readings.

In the 3rd hour of today's Dukes and Bell, we hear from Connor Riley of DawgNation. And we replay our interview with Falcons team president Rich McKay.
We are challenging the notion that leadership is neatly outlined on the organizational chart. This pervasive misconception often limits our understanding of what effective leadership truly entails. Leadership goes beyond titles and positions, permeating every level of an organization. It's not confined to the hierarchy; it's a dynamic quality found in individuals who inspire, collaborate, and guide others toward shared goals. Our guest, Sidd Vivek, the accomplished CEO of Junior Achievement San Diego, challenges this notion and unveils the universal truths about leadership, whether in the for-profit or nonprofit sector. Sidd shares his wealth of experience, highlighting that every step up isn't necessarily a step forward. The discussion revolves around the importance of envisioning your ultimate destination and how critical it is to understand that leadership isn't confined to a specific title or position—it happens at every level. We explore how effective leadership is about moving people forward, overcoming challenges, and embracing opportunities. The organizational chart is dissected, emphasizing that while there may be numerous positions, removing just one, even the CEO, doesn't halt business operations. Sidd stresses the significance of recognizing that leadership extends beyond a single individual—it's about the collective efforts of a team. Life, as Sidd notes, is multi-dimensional and far from linear. We explore the concept of taking larger exits, understanding that career paths are diverse and unique to each individual. The podcast delves into hiring practices, emphasizing that it's not about filling positions but about bringing in people. Sidd encourages us to listen to our employees and teammates, allowing them to shift seats on the bus as they grow and develop. Leadership isn't about titles; it's about moving people forward. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges traditional notions of leadership and highlights the dynamic, multi-faceted nature of leading, no matter where you are on the organizational chart. Leadership truly happens at every level, and this episode will inspire you to rethink your approach to leadership in your own journey. About Sidd Vivek: Sidd is the President and CEO of Junior Achievement of San Diego County, joining the organization in January 2019. He was born and raised in Boston. He graduated from The George Washington University with a BA in Political Science. Before joining JA, Sidd spent the last 11 years working for the YMCA of San Diego. He worked as their Director of Marketing, then as Development Director, then finally as their Director of Strategic Partnerships. He has been immersed in youth development programs throughout central San Diego, including robotics in underserved communities and gang/drug prevention.
