DIGGING DEEPER

- In this TEDx video (18:20) Brian Robertson explains what Holacracy is all about.
- The book ‘Reinventing Organizations’ 6. Reinventing Organizations by Frederic Laloux made the world sit up and take notice last year, and has shown that many people and organizations have been tracking down Holacracy. Inspirationally and clearly, Laloux shows that ‘enlightened’ organizations are all about purpose, wholeness, and self-management. Holacracy is mentioned as an example of how you can shape your company in concrete terms. The Dutch translation is also fine.

- Two great podcasts on Holacracy and self-managing organizations: part one (58:36) and part two(46:21).
