Imagine a world where the success of your company does not depend on the boss, but rather on a self-regulating structure, similar to those observed in nature. Based on applied research, illustrated by numerous real-life examples, the author leads us to a paradigm shift: in complex environments, we need structures, not managers !
This paradigm shift is reflected in self-managed management models and leads to an upheaval in managerial practices and in the way companies operate. Beyond that, the author puts his finger on the meaning and values that are at the heart of these organisations and that guide their evolution.
“When organizations are built not on implicit mechanisms of fear but on structures and practices that breed trust and responsibility, extraordinary and unexpected things start to happen.”
