Leadership is a structure, not a mood.
Description
Book Introduction
Changing the landscape of leadership through structure, not pressure.
“I only do what my teammates tell me to do.”
“If you don’t apply pressure, you won’t get results.”
“Kids these days have no initiative.”
Many leaders say this.
But the real problem isn't the 'team members' but the 'structure'.
"Leadership is Structure, Not Atmosphere" redefines leadership as "designing a structure that contributes," rather than a matter of emotions or attitudes.
The author delved deeply into a single question while conducting experiments with over 100 MZ generation practitioners over 25 years at a global IT company.
“What is the structure of a team that achieves results without pressure?” The answer is the GROWTH framework.
If you properly design these six structures—Goal, Role, Ownership, Well-being, Trust, and Humanity—the team will move on its own without pressure.
This book is not a concept book.
It's an execution book.
Actual meeting, goal setting, feedback, and performance management scenes are meticulously organized so that 'team leaders can follow along tomorrow.'
It has already been implemented in various organizations and has brought about powerful changes, which is why it is recommended by experts in the field and academia alike.
Above all, this book is not about changing leaders, but about changing the structure of a team.
And when the structure changes, the team moves naturally.
If you are a leader who wants to break away from organizations run by pressure and create a team where team members contribute on their own and achieve results, this book will serve as a new starting point.

The core message of this book
The problem isn't people, it's the structure.
It's not that the team members lack initiative,
There is no 'board' to contribute to.
Leadership is a matter of design.
Not 'putting on' motivation
We must 'design' a structure that cannot help but contribute.
GROWTH
Frameworks are executable tools
It is a concrete methodology that has been proven in the field and can be applied tomorrow.
When the structure changes, the team moves.
A team that performs without pressure can be created.
