Operationalizing Holacracy with Tom Thomison of encode.org

The costs of management are a significant factor in the search for better organizational designs and management structures. Holacracy One started in 2007. Ten years later encode.org is following the 500+ companies that have implemented Holacracy to pick up on the legal and people side needed to balance the structural implementation of Holacracy. Tom Thomison, a co-founder of Holacracy One, and Dawna talk about:

The value of a distributed authority system,What Holacracy is and is not,The value of embedding an entrepreneurial stance to doing the work,Is profit a purpose or a measure?What does purpose of business mean and how does it replace Mission, Vision and other traditional elements,The pivotal question for moving from a traditional model to a self-managing system,The need to re-envision a world without employeesThe importance of Like-purpose (not like-minded) diversity.
