One from Many

Why it’s on the list: Visa founder Dee Hock’s account of building Visa as a “chaordic” (chaos + order) organization — and a broader manifesto for decentralized, self-organizing institutions. A revised edition of his 1999 Birth of the Chaordic Age.

Where I saw it: Saved in Kyle’s April 30th, 2020 Roam “Quick Capture” reading log, tagged #Visa. Surfaced alongside the Fast Company profile “The Trillion-Dollar Vision of Dee Hock”; Hock was recommended to Kyle by Tim Riser.
