OverviewNo managers - the new approach to business, in print for the first time In traditional companies, managers make decisions, and workers execute the plan. But Holacracy is a revolutionary and tried-and-tested new system which turns everyone into a leader. The organisation looks like a nest of circles, not a pyramid - but it's not anarchy. It's finally clear who should make each decision - the person on the frontline has that authority - and the organisation succeeds by adapting swiftly to pursue its purpose. In Holacracy, pioneer Brian Robertson explains how to adopt this system across your organisation - and what you can do just within your department or for yourself - and how to overcome any obstacles along the way.
