Today I am wearing only the E hat - Executive. Since I started on this journey over 43 years ago, the first 2/3's of my career was consulting with the C Suite (CEO, COO, etc.) on building a sustainable organization that could also achieve rapid growth. S11 E5 The Self Managed Organization Once a business gets to a certain size these two objectives seem to be mutually exclusive. Based on that experience I built a collection of business rules that when combined created high performing, fast growth companies that had long futures. This is my story. I have a different view of things than traditional media and consulting. The lessons we learned turning around a small radio station taught me two things: I love the industry, and it has no future. Loving the industry satisfied a need that was decades old. Answering the question of how do we bring corporate consulting to where it will have the greatest impact - small business? It was obvious the medium of audio, broadcasted globally, could reach the 375 million small business owners employing 57% of everyone in the private sector. Finally, after years of working on finding a business model and delivery method, I had the answer. Radio, AM in particular, is a bandwidth without a profit model. The last 3 decades of syndicating political speech and automating radio stations were spent. What if we used the radio spectrum and the internet to niche the market and provide insights and tools critical to starting, growing, and exiting a business? What if the radio was the plumbing bringing water to your house, and the water was consulting? This different approach is instilled in everything we do at IBGR. Our principles are to provide entrepreneurs with everything they need to build generational wealth and create jobs regardless of their geographic location. Everything we do is demand-based; what is required to start fast and successfully, what is required to scale the business with growth that can be sustained, how does the owner achieve their end game. As serial entrepreneurs, we understand owners need to feel connected. All of us want feedback and control. We want instant response to decisions and the agility to implement. We want the ability to deploy resources efficiently and accelerate momentum to create quick wins. At IBGR, we understand the relationship between the owner and their business, their investment and risks in this act of creation.

27 years ago, the founder of Morningstar sat his then-small staff down to share his idea for core principles as a foundation that they could grow an enterprise upon. Organizational consultant Doug Kirkpatrick was in that small group, and today Morningstar's two founding principles are still at the core of what is now the largest demand processor in the world:1. People shouldn’t use force or coercion against each other.2. People should honor the commitments they make to each other. Doug has turned his experience into a career, having authored "Beyond Empowerment: The Age of the Self-Managed Organization" and begun the Self-Management institute.The interest in updating organizational management has exploded worldwide, driven in part by technology but also by people's desire to enjoy their work and be autonomous and self-managing. Leaders are now looking around at how the world of work is changing and realizing that they need to understand this change because it affects their business. Doug offers advice to executives and middle managers, and also shares his thoughts on Gary Hamil's "management tax".SolutionsIQ's Josh Fruit hosts at Business Agility 2017 in New York City.About Agile AmpedThe Agile Amped podcast series brings Agile news and events to life.
