21 Century Organization*
• “a formal network with specific areas of economic
  accountability can undertake many of the activities that
  have inspired companies to use matrix management
  structures”
   > self interest vs hierachy in a matrix
   > collaborate with relatively little ambiguity about decision
     making authority
• workers become more self directed!
• requires different form of leadership: "inspired leadership"
  to motivate collaborative behavior
• companies must create metrics that hold employees
  individually accountable tor their contribution to collective
  success                                                     12
