The Six
Design Principles
for Next-Stage
Veterinary Practices
These principles show up as common themes shared by
progressive, “next-stage” organizations across a variety of industries.
Collective Leadership
Rather than hierarchical control, organizations achieve better results by empowering people to make decisions about how to accomplish their work and fostering freedom and responsibility. Put simply, it’s about moving from parenting to partnering.
Networked Structure
The technology that connects us has increased our ability to self-organize and collaborate. Working as a network allows teams to organize more efficiently and with greater fidelity.
Radical Transparency
Radical transparency equips team members with abundant real-time information, increasing the speed and accuracy of decisions as well as improving morale and accountability.
Intrinsic Motivation
Next-stage organizations give their team members the freedom to be their passionate, motivated, authentic, and diverse selves in the pursuit of aligning work that fits their individual interests, talents, and strengths.
Purpose & Values
Organizations are changing their focus from profit alone to a long-term value-based model. Aiming to do well by doing good creates a visionary purpose that brings together impressive talent, aligned and committed shareholders, and partners and communities that contribute as much as they benefit.
Experiment & Adapt
Progressive organizations understand that a long-term vision is essential and the ability to adapt and experiment in ever-evolving environments is becoming more important than sticking to rigid short-term plans.
