Synopsis

The Intelligent Startup: A New Model of Coordination for Tomorrow’s Leaders is a transformative work by transformative authors.

In this perception-shattering book, George Graen, one of the world’s most cited leadership scholars, and Julio Canedo, creator of the Strategic Alignment App, revisit major management theories using results from their combined decades of research and practice.

Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative metrics, the authors craft a framework to create results-oriented cultures around high-functioning teamwork.

In today’s shifting landscape of knowledge workers, mobility, and flexible work arrangements, such cultures can only be achieved by aligning, empowering, and motivating individuals to deliver strategic attitudes, behaviors, and results. Supported by decades of evidence, the authors show that the implementation of leader-member exchange alliances (LMX-A) are key in this process.

Entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders everywhere cannot afford not to learn from Graen and Canedo.

Author’s Note

The home-office revolution demonstrates that present ideas about business startups are not appropriate for today’s home-office practitioners. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the economic, social, and psychological problems with conventional management systems and unicorn, wannabe startups demonstrated the glaring need for a hybrid model. Most thinking about solving the “buggy whip status” of the present design calls for minimal change in management systems by allowing present emergency home-office managers to use their new, tailored, at-home workplace part of the week and their brick-and-mortar office the rest of the week.

 

This seems to solve the wrong problem. We need to think larger. We need to think of the present system’s mismatches with the temper of the times. Many things have changed since the adoption of World War II’s military model for civilian workers. This Baby Boomer management system has become hated by both managers and knowledge workers. The best example is the performance management system, which has few friends. The changes have been a series of culture shocks: moving from Boomers to Millennials to Gen Z-ers; evolving beliefs and values; the market changing from quality to innovation; the social changes in institutions; digital exploitation; mobile computers; and the list goes on.

 

Most needed is a hybrid model for business––beginning with new people, new markets, new productive systems, and changes to our natural environments. We need to capitalize on what works, as suggested by useful ideas from practice and science before it’s too late. The Millennials and Z-ers have been frustrated by the old guard and should be included in the models of their futures. We need to change, as forcefully as the pandemic demanded of us. We must find an urgency for new, creative leadership by owners, managers, and knowledge workers at home offices full-time, part-time, or not at all.

 

We had this renewal in mind when we reviewed the relevant engineering, economic, and psychology science and began writing this hybrid startup handbook (Graen & Canedo, 2018). Our ideas are based on our readings and experiences as scientists, teachers, and consultants of over 70 years combined.
