Top down command and control (what and how).
Stability valued above all through rigorous processes.
Future is repetition of the past.
Current Examples:
Catholic Church
Military
Governmental Organizations
Public School System Picture Credits: Flickr User UK Ministry of Defense: flic.kr/p/bjm6L2
Orange OrganizationsGoal is to beat the competition; achieve profit and growth.
Innovation is the key to staying ahead.
Management by objectives
Command and control on what, freedom on the how
Current Examples:
Fortune 100
DAX Unternehmen

Green Organizations
Focus on culture and empowerment
Within the class pyramid structure
Achievements of extraordinary employee motivation
Current Examples:
Culture Driven Organizations
NGO’s
Southwest Airlines, Ben & Jerrys, Semco
Teal OrganizationsNo one is the boss of anyone else.
Hierarchy is not powerful enough to face complexity:
Examples: global economy, human central nervous system (CNS).
If you take your purpose seriously there is no competitor by definition.
Current Examples:
Network Organizations (Burtzoorg, ESBZ, Zappos, A.W. Gore, Automattic)

TEALorganizations
No one is the boss of anyone else. Hierarchy is not powerful enough to face complexity, e.g. global
economy, human muscle brain (cells). If you take your purpose seriously there is no competitor by definition
•Network Organizations (Burtzoorg, ESBZ, Zappos, Semco, A.W. Gore, Automattic)
•Self Management •Wholeness •evolutionary Purpose
Network
Self Management
No one is the boss of anyone else. Because hierarchical organizations are not powerful enough to face the complexity, e.g.global economy, anymore.
Rather than a power hierarchy teal organizations work like a natural network
Advice Process: One has to get advice from an expert. One has to talk to people who will be affected by the decision
Wholeness
In most organizations we are pushed to wear a mask. We are so used to wearing it, that we almost forgot about it.
We are showing our Ego (only the rational part of it), but not our deeper feelings.
Teal organizations are integrating different views and different opinions, because the truth has more facets than just one.
Evolutionary Purpose
If you take purpose seriously, there is no competition. Because every organization aiming for the same purpose is an ally.
If a company vision is aligned with the strategy – and when it’s continuously adapted it becomes stronger and stronger.
Purpose is finding a companies why and can’t be simply executed. Execution only works when you think about your company as a machine like in orange organizations.
How to change?
1.Self-management No one is the boss of anyone else.
Work like a natural network.
Advice Process: Talk to experts and talk to people who will be affected by the decision.
2.Wholeness
Accept the human being behind the employee.
Integrate different views and different opinions.
The truth has more facets than just one.
1.Evolutionary Purpose Where is purpose, there is no competition. Every organization aiming for the same purpose is an ally.
If a company vision is aligned and continuously adapted it becomes stronger and stronger.
Purpose is finding a companies why and can’t be simply executed.
