Hopefully, you’re here because you sense that work can be different: more human, more collaborative, and more impactful. Maybe you’re leading a team, building an organization, or carrying an idea that has the potential to change the world. You want work to matter, for you and for those around you. You want people to bring their whole selves, to find flow together, and to see their efforts add up to real impact.
What you don’t want is to get stuck in old patterns: managers dictating every move, endless meetings that drain energy, or rigid plans that collapse with the next wave of change. You want to approach work in ways that feel alive, adaptive, and true to your purpose.
I’ve spent my career exploring how organizations can create the conditions for this kind of high-impact work. Organizing for Impact is the distillation of that journey: a book that combines experience, research, and hard-won practice to help explorers like you shape the future of work.

What if leadership wasn’t about control but about unlocking the full potential of people and teams? Organizing for Impact is a call to action for leaders, changemakers, and organizations ready to move beyond outdated hierarchies and embrace a more adaptive, people-centered way of working.
Rooted in the realities of complex, ever-evolving organizations, this book explores what it truly takes to build a resilient, high-impact workplace.
This book goes beyond theory, offering practical tools and real-world strategies to bring these ideas to life and drive transformative change. It is an invitation to join a movement to reimagine leadership and build a future of work that truly works for people.
More About the Book
Organizing for Impact: A Guide to Cultivating Collaborative Leadership, Building Adaptive Teams, and Doing Work That Matters is built on the shoulders of many giants in the “future of work” movement, who have been paving the way toward a more human-centered approach to work for many years. It explores organizational development through three interconnected lenses:
The Self – Developing collaborative leadership skills that break free from traditional hierarchical conditioning, cultivating the mindset and capabilities needed to co-lead with true autonomy.
The Team – Building adaptive teams that work with agility, framing performance and impact through the lens of continuous learning rather than rigid metrics.
The Organization – Applying the IMPACT model to build a transformation roadmap that helps organizations replace outdated structures with operating systems that support agility, shared leadership, and purpose-driven action.
This book is designed as a practical guide you can navigate based on your specific needs. Read it cover to cover, or jump to the section that addresses your most pressing challenge. Throughout the book, you’ll find references to other chapters that can fill in any gaps along your journey.
