‹ Frank Dwyer’s “State Of The Union” on Huffington Post •
Via the Worldblu blog. I don’t know if it is still accessible (I’ll try later - update: it is).
I’m fond of suggesting that the phrase "command-and-control" should be considered alongside the phrase "champion-and-channel", which I believe is what good leaders do more often than command.

“DOWN WITH HIERARCHIES” – THE BBC’S BRILLANT PODCASTI love this! Check it out – I get the BBC’s podcasts delivered into my iTunes so I can listen on my iPod to the latest new, ideas, etc. Today they had one of the best programs I’ve ever heard about why command-and-control, hierarchy-laden organizations are falling flat. The program was called, “Down with Hierarchies” and it features world-class thinkers and practitioners supporting ideas like organizational democracy.
The program is about 30 minutes long and featured Gerard Fairtlough and his new book entitled, "The Three Ways of Getting Things Done: Hierarchy, Heterarchy and Responsible Autonomy in Organizations." The program also highlighted Ricardo Semler, Dee Hock, Peter Drucker, and more. Brilliantly done.
To access the program through the BBC Radio website, click here. Once on that page, click in the box that says, “Listen Again” and it will bring up the program. The show starts about a minute in. Enjoy!
