6 life lessons from Marcus Aurelius:
1. Cut out the inessential
2. Stop making excuses
3. Embrace failure
4. Trade anger for sympathy
5. Always do the right thing
6. Complaining will make it worse
"The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately." - Seneca
Oh that is another level of human-to-human avoidance. I bet this is the type of organization that are tempted to replace most employees by AI-agents!
Traditional change management fails because it treats organizations like machines. This video explains a different approach: the #ThreePercentRule - a mathematical algorithm showing how change actually spreads through a small group of people within human systems.

The modern organization, and our modern era, has been built on the ideology that technology solves everything. Machines, medicines, and tools have enable us to control nature. Consequently people think it can also solve the human interaction.

Gave the book The Social Capital Imperative to my Doctorate Director.
My chapter reminds us: collaboration works when we strengthen informal networks, elevate connectors, and use ONA to reveal how work truly happens.
Which hidden networks power your organization?

Most see only hierarchy & informal networks. But networks can be designed. We built an Adaptive Teams Network of 1100 teams in 89 countries, unlocking agility & impact. Join me at #ONASummit2025 to explore how to design networks that thrive in complexity.
Leaders think they can only shape org charts, not networks. Wrong. Informal networks can be designed into **Adaptive Teams Networks** that drive agility + impact. Join me + Dr. Leandro Herrero at #ONASummit2025 to learn how. Register today & shape the future of work.

Organizational charts miss real leaders. As Shared Leadership shows, power isnโt the pointโtrust is.
With an Adaptive Teams Network, we identify and back informal connectors, lifting cross-market collaboration from 5% to 57%.
Where is trust beating titles in your org?

Leadership isnโt fixedโitโs shared, situational, and adaptive. In the Black Forest with Randolf Jessl, co-author of Shared Leadership, we discussed how interconnected goals and Adaptive Teams Networks build resilience, speed, and impact.
This principle is powerfully captured in the book ๐ ๐ข๐ฑ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐!, where stories from visionaries show how real change begins at the edges, not the center. The e-book is just โฌ3 this week: jeppehansgaard.gumroad.com/l/fixyourcul...
Real change doesnโt start with policies or org chartsโit starts in invisible webs of trust. We learned to map and engage cultural carriers, the connectors everyone turns to. Thatโs how transformation sticks. How do you activate your informal influencers?

Social Capital is an engine for change. We revealed, developed, and leveraged bridges across silos, boosting cross-market collaboration from 5% to 56% and unlocking $500M in value in a global Pharmaceutical companyโfull story in "The Social Capital Imperative", edited by Greg Pryor.
Structure doesnโt scale impactโsocial capital does.
In Directionally Correct, Greg Pryor & Kristin Cullen-Lester share NASA, J&J & my Roche case, where activating hidden networks unlocked $500M value. Reveal, develop, leverage your organizational networks.

We increased cross-market collaboration 5x by activating informal networks. I share how cultural carriers and shared rituals scaled trust-based transformation in The Social Capital Imperative. What strengths could a network of adaptive teams unlock in your org?

Myth: Workforce planning = job titles & skills inventories.
Truth: Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) unlocks the potential of adaptive teams and makes connections between skills and outcomes.
We've utilized ONA to establish a network of adaptable teams!
Have you used ONA for WSP?

In โThe Social Capital Imperativeโ, Greg Pryor reminded us that networks are about _value_. We began with a business challenge: connect expertise across markets to accelerate patient impact. The results proved the power of purposeful networks.
Throughout human history, the shift of work took place only when we managed to create a net energy surplus. Improvements in energy allocation in agriculture led to shifts to manufacturing, and so on to services. So far, AI is energy-negative, consuming more energy than it releases.
