Why Listen: You’re tired of permission-based culture and curious about systems built on trust and autonomy.

Description:  

Is the traditional org chart on its last legs? In this provocative conversation, organizational futurist Joseph Logan challenges the foundations of how we've structured work for the last 150 years. Drawing on his journey from a senior pharma executive to partner at Jumpsuit, Joseph explains why centralized, hierarchical models no longer serve today’s complexity—and how distributed intelligence, autonomous teams, and bossless organizations offer a viable path forward. We explore the historical roots of the org chart, the forces accelerating its decline (think AI, hybrid work, and portfolio careers), and what a post-org chart operating system might look like. This episode offers a powerful lens for generalists and leaders ready to work with, not against, the future. 

 Key Highlights:  

• The Death of the Org Chart: Why the 150-year-old model of organizational hierarchy is breaking under the weight of AI, hybrid work, and portfolio careers. 

• From Control to Consent: How permission-based systems are giving way to decentralized, consent-based collaboration. 

• Bossless Doesn’t Mean Leaderless: The distinction between removing gatekeepers and cultivating distributed leadership. 

• The Emergent OS: A new organizational “operating system” that leverages decentralization, diversity, and real-time feedback loops. 

• Generalists Rising: Why generalists are well-positioned to thrive in the shift away from rigid roles toward adaptive, principle-driven work.
