Abstract
The three pillars of organization and leadership are discussed as being fundamental because they enable organizations to continuously synchronize with business needs and opportunities and enable their employees to interact flexibly and successfully. The building blocks or pillars are interconnected with agile practices such as iterative procedures and minimum viable solutions. They also challenge our learning abilities beyond enriching our inner maps, i.e., adapting them and even managing their adaption.
