Given the chance, how would you design an organisation from scratch? I bet it wouldn’t look close to what we see in many established organisations. You’d want more autonomy, greater transparency and less bureaucracy. Well, what if that were possible?

In this episode I am joined by Pim de Morree, co-founder of Corporate Rebels, to explore self-managed organisations. Pim shares insights from his experience creating environments where employees thrive, and organisations excel, with not a manager in sight. Pim’s expertise offers a masterclass in rethinking traditional management and embracing a future where work is both meaningful and impactful for all involved. So, are you ready to revolutionise how you lead and run your organisation?

You’ll hear about:

How self-managed organisations prioritise autonomy
The ways employees take ownership and lead without traditional hierarchical constraints
Why self-managed organisations see higher levels of employee engagement and satisfaction
Full transparency and accountability are critical
How decision-making distributed across teams can foster innovation and agility
The cultural shifts required to transition to a self-managed organisation
