That suffocating sensation isn't just in your head-it's what happens when organizations accumulate what researchers call "bad friction." But here's the twist: not all friction deserves elimination.

This paradox sits at the heart of understanding how great organizations actually work, and why Silicon Valley's obsession with frictionless everything might be leading us astray.
