⚖ Are associations better than corporations?
What can corporate leadership learn from associations about building deeply empowered organizations that stand the test of time?
In this episode of "The Business Philosopher Within You" podcast, host I sit down with Chris Vaughan, PhD from Sequence Consulting to explore these questions. We dive into the unique dynamics that make associations thrive, even in challenging environments.
Among the threads we explored:
- How associations leverage their "platypus-like" multi-dimensional structure to stay resilient and adaptable.
- What the triple bottom line is and how it improves employees and volunteer engagement.
- The strategies used by associations to engage members and sustain growth that are directly transferrable to for-profit companies.
- Lessons for corporate leaders: leading from purpose and mission rather than fear and greed.
- The power of distributed decision-making and its role in driving organizational innovation.
Tune in to uncover the secrets behind the success of associations and how they can inspire blowout performance as well as lasting endurance in the corporate world.
