How to organise both humanely AND effectively? Mark McKergow’s latest writing is free on Substack
Village In The City founder Dr Mark McKergow has started a new writing project on Substack. He’s building on his work in Host Leadership, Solutions Focus and Village In The City to explore how we might organise both humanely AND effectively.
It’s easy to see how to be humane and ineffective. It’s even easier to see how to be effective and inhumane. But how to combine both?
Mark’s career has been exploring this question from various angles in learning, coaching, organisational change and community development. Now he’s building on his 30 years of experience to put this work together in new ways, explore the gaps, look at unanswered questions and try to be as clear as possible.
It’s free to subscribe and read, with new work every Wednesday. http://markmckergow.substack.com.
