"Kintsugi is ultimately about breaking something and building it back better, stronger, and more beautiful. It is the ultimate metaphor for what it takes to grow a startup into a mature business. It is hard to see a small org that runs smoothly go through the growing pains of many new people and new management layers, but if you do it with purpose, thought, and care, you can rebuild that small org into something even greater, more resilient, and wiser.
Artistic Leadership's Kintsugi session with our senior managers gave them a chance to internalize the process we are currently going through, give them time to understand why it's important, and with their Kintsugi on their desks, be reminded daily of the outcome we are all working towards."
