I wonder if our educational institutions are preparing their students for a world full of structures, rules and processes instead of the creative trustful chaos you're advocating for.
As much as I love the kind of organisation you're describing in this post, I see a lot of leaders struggling with the idea of providing freedom, letting information flow and fostering productive failiing. Creating this kind of environment requires putting your trust in the people instead of using processes and structures to control them. Trusting the people you work with quite often seems to be the missing prerequisite.

Absolutely! I recently presented this idea to a group of CEOs and one immediately blurted out “does this mean I need to give up control”… ;)

One could say Mark Zuckerberg’s “year of efficiency” was in response to a lost “year of effectiveness”.
