No challenge is entirely new. In 60,000 years of human existence, nearly every problem we face in modern business has already been seen and solved. We need to apply age-old tribal wisdom to our current circumstances. This journey explores the essence of culture and the keys to successful change programs, introducing cultural traditions from around the globe while providing practical tools for today's organizations. Through thirty compelling stories, it reveals insights that resonate deeply. At times unfamiliar and disruptive, yet illuminating and inspirational, it offers a powerful paradigm and skillset for addressing organizational and leadership challenges in the twenty-first century and beyond. This work is aimed at leaders, consultants, and advisors seeking fresh perspectives and proven solutions, as well as those wanting to foster strong, diverse communities ready for change. The authors, corporate anthropologists, view organizations as tribes, leaders as chiefs, and mission documents as totem poles. They invite you to explore places where spirits linger, magic is real, and rituals maintain order and facilitate transition. You'll never look at your organization or its challenges the same way again.
Jitske Kramer Books
Jitske Kramer is a corporate anthropologist who travels the world learning from traditional healers, leaders, surprising innovators, and random passersby. Cultural anthropology explores what it means to be human among people in organizations and beyond, and how we can collaborate with those we like, but especially with those we don't. In 2012, she introduced Deep Democracy to the Netherlands and, with her team of instructors, offers numerous trainings. Kramer constantly seeks ways to build strong tribes and strengthen relationships, bringing this knowledge through compelling lectures and masterclasses to the world of organizing, collaboration, and leadership to enhance the impact and results of individuals and groups, and to make the world a bit more beautiful. Her writing aims to eliminate lengthy meetings, with an ambition to activate organizations to be wildly attractive and delightfully simple for everything and everyone. Through her stories, she creates space for new ways of seeing and acting, where the familiar becomes strange and the strange becomes familiar.
