About the Book

Structure & Power: How Structure and Power Unlock Innovation, Agility, and Enduring Success

We talk endlessly about mindset, culture, and leadership but rarely ask the harder question: what structural conditions make innovation, agility, and enduring success possible in the first place?

Structure & Power argues that structure, not just strategy or storytelling, defines how organizations behave, who holds decision-making authority, and whether teams can truly adapt and innovate. Written for practitioners who work inside complex systems this book offers a clear framework for understanding how formal and informal structures shape outcomes more powerfully than intent alone.

You’ll explore:

  • Why most empowerment efforts fail without structural alignment
  • How power is distributed (or hoarded) through roles, rules, and routines
  • What makes some organizations adaptive and others fragile—even with the same people
  • How to recognize, work with, and redesign the deeper architectures that govern behavior
  • What it really takes to embed change, not just announce it

From transformation failures and agile theater to leverage points and structural persistence, Structure & Power provides a direct, accessible lens for those ready to move beyond cultural storytelling and into the hard mechanics of how lasting change is built ... or blocked.
