And The Geeks Shall Inherit The Earth

Robert Postill

Like all good ideas...

We whinged a little bit...

Then it grew at the library

So.

..

Most leaders are terrible

Big Organisations

37 Signals can't do everything!

1. Geeks tend not to seek leadership

2. Geeks collaborate better

3.Geeks get risk

4. Geeks understand failure

5. Systems thinking comes naturally

6. Benevolent dictatorship

There are some exceptions

But also shining examples

How do we make a change?

Can I join in?

Thanks (for the photos and inspiration)
