Pala Podcast: Self-management & Leadership Buffets with Matthias Hoffman

In this episode of the Pala Podcast, Matthias Hoffmann, founder of Grubengold, discusses the vision for transformation and innovation he had, the transition to self-management, challenges and trade-offs, the leadership buffet, roles, and decision-making within the organisation.

The conversation provides insights into the unique approach of Grubengold and the complexities of self-management in a consultancy setting. We delve into the intricacies of organisational decision-making, the tension between hierarchy and self-management, the role of leadership and self-reflection, the use of board game design as a metaphor for organisational structure, and the trade-offs of self-management.
