Holacracy

In his book, Brian Johnson introduces us to Holacracy, a new way of running an organization that removes power from a management hierarchy and distributes it across clear roles. It's a system that allows everyone to have a voice and ensures that no idea is left unheard.

Johnson emphasizes the importance of distributed authority. In a Holacracy, power isn't tied to the people at the top. Instead, it's spread out among roles, allowing for more flexibility and responsiveness. This means decisions can be made quickly, without waiting for approval from a single authority figure.

Holacracy isn't about chaos or lack of structure. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Johnson shows us that clear structures and rules can actually empower people, giving them the freedom to make decisions and drive change within their roles.

Regular meetings are a key part of Holacracy. These aren't your typical time-wasting meetings, though. Johnson explains that in a Holacracy, meetings are structured and efficient, focusing on tactical items and governance to keep everyone aligned and moving forward.

Finally, Johnson sees Holacracy as a tool for organizational evolution. It's not just about changing the way we work, but about allowing organizations to adapt and grow in a rapidly changing world. If you're interested in exploring a new way of running your organization, take a look at Holacracy.
