Sweden in Transition #22 - Helene Ählberg on Teal Organizations

Helene Ählberg is a Purpose guide, she helps develop progressive organizations with a purpose-driven culture where employees contribute and grow. She is also the founder of Teal for Teal Sweden. A network to spread ideas and models for new ways of working in our rapidly changing world.During this conversation, we learn more about what a Teal Organization is, referring to the famous book of Frederic Laloux, Reinventing Organizations.To introduce the subject, we go through the challenges organisations need to address today: lack of agility, need for more rapid innovation but also employees disengagement & "brown-out", as well as the higher expectations from the younger generation around meaning and autonomy.Helene explains the different stages: Red, Amber, Orange, Green and Teal, and then goes through the 3 fondamental principles of Teal organizations: Self leadership, Wholeness & Purpose.We then discuss the benefits of such transformation in a country like Sweden, known for its consensus and work-life balance culture. Finally, Helene observes that the context of the pandemic is accelerating this paradign shift, but stresses that things need to change even quicker if organisations are to stand up and address the urgent Climate change challenge we are facing now.
