Why the Old Work Model Doesn't Work Anymore - Lisa Gill

In this conversation, I sit down with Lisa Gill, facilitator, coach, and host of Leadermorphosis, to explore what it really means to move toward radically decentralized organizations and why this shift is as much inner as it is structural.

We explore why traditional hierarchies are struggling, how consent-based and advice processes change the way decisions are made, and why trust and accountability are not opposites but deeply interconnected. We also talk about psychological safety, discomfort as a catalyst for growth, and the inner maturity required to work without control.

This episode is for anyone who has felt that something about work no longer fits, who senses that typical hierarchy isn’t the answer, or who is curious about what it takes to create organizations that are more human, responsible, and alive.
