Organizational Physics
When a team struggles, our first instinct is often to look at the people: their skills, their motivation, or their communication. We assume individual effort is the primary lever. But what if the real friction isn't in the individuals, but in the unseen forces and structures they're operating within? Lex Sisney argues that organizations have their own "physics"—predictable laws governing how work flows, decisions are made, and energy is distributed. It's why a brilliant team can feel like they're constantly swimming upstream, exhausted by invisible resistance. This breakdown helps you move beyond surface-level symptoms, offering a diagnostic lens to identify systemic blockages and design an environment where effort translates directly into impact. You'll learn to see the currents and obstacles of work, not just the people navigating them.
