2. Break up monolithic structures.
3. Give everyone a place at the table.
4. Radically expand the scope of employee autonomy.
5. Create meritocracies where influence is based on contribution - not credentials.
6. Provide open access to real-time information.
7. Drive performance through a shared sense of purpose and community.
8. Ditch formality.
