Organizational Design
This helps you think through team structure decisions using frameworks from Gustav Soderström and Brian Chesky. It walks you through the core speed versus coherence trade-off: Amazon-style decentralization for parallel execution or Apple-style centralization for product coherence. The skill pushes you to question management layers and whether your leaders actually understand the work their teams produce. Most useful when you're planning a reorg, choosing between functional and divisional models, or trying to figure out why coordination keeps failing. The Chesky stuff about eliminating managers who can't do the work is blunt but clarifying.
