Rod Collins is back! In this episode, the former COO of Blue Cross Blue Shield and futurist explores the critical shift from hierarchically structured authority to collective and collaborative networks. Learn the pitfalls of digital feudalism and how pioneering companies like Google have strayed from their original ideals.

This episode promises insights into leveraging collective intelligence for true innovation and the inevitable decline of traditional hierarchical models. Rod's book 'Nobody is Smarter Than Everybody' was published by guest Rod Collins. Listen to this compelling discussion on rethinking (and changing) how power is used as workplaces evolve to keep up with the digital era where no one person can solve anything. Diverse intelligence is needed. So is order, which is not to be confused with direction. You'll gain valuable insights for professionals, leaders, and anyone interested in the impact of collective intelligence and the evolution of organizational structures. A few highlights:

•  Leveraging collective intelligence: "Power with" rather than "power over" can amplify the collective intelligence of groups, leading to more innovative and effective outcomes.
• The importance of autonomy and order: Hint: it is not either/or.
• The implications of digital feudalism
• The decline of hierarchical management structures
• The necessity for companies to evolve
