Bad Bosses, Great Leaders
The Leadership Shift That Accelerates Results
In this episode of Bad Bosses, Great Leaders, we’re joined by Jurriaan Kamer, a former software engineer turned organizational change agent, who unpacks what really holds teams and companies back from high performance.
From the myth of empowerment to the illusion of strategy, Jurriaan challenges traditional leadership roles and invites us to rethink what it means to lead effectively. Drawing on his experience in self-managed organizations and insights from his books Formula X and Unblock, he shares:
Why ownership requires both authority and emotional investment
The difference between “being strategic” and actually having a strategy
How self-managing teams operate—and why they outperform hierarchical structures
What happens when leaders stop directing traffic and start designing better systems
Practical ways to remove roadblocks, build trust, and run meaningful experiments
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone feeling stuck in outdated systems or craving more aligned, autonomous teams. You’ll walk away with a clearer lens on what’s holding your organization back—and where to start.
