This episode explores why organizations rise and fall, by interviewing the authors of "The Illusion of Invincibility: The Rise and Fall of Organizations Inspired by the Incas of Peru", trying to answer the fundamental challenge that every organization has: How do established companies continue to stay competitive and innovate within an ever-changing environment?

 

In this episode we’ll try to answer some of the following questions and see what the authors Andreas & Paul have to say about these topics:

  • What we can learn from the Incas when it comes to the long-term survival of companies
  • Why successful companies fail, despite them being market leaders in their respective industries
  • What makes a successful CEO
  • How the ego of CEOs can become a huge problem
  • How the career progression of top managers can make it harder for them to stay grounded in reality
  • How “Management by Walking Around” can help with this
  • What the biggest mistakes are that are made during hiring processes
  • and finally, what their top 3 recommendations are for CEOs that want to avoid a future decline of their company.
