Free (nook/Kindle/Kobo/iTunes UK) Holacracy: Revolutionary Management [DIY Business]

[ATDrake]

Holacracy: The Revolutionary Management System that Abolishes Hierarchy by creator Brian J. Robertson is his guide to deploying Exactly What It Says In The Title, which happens to have a blandly commercial Wikipedia entry that gets somewhat more interesting when you hit up the Talk page and see how it appears to have started from blatant probably-self-promo and got taken over by the usual nit-picking Wiki editor crowd, free courtesy of publisher Penguin.

Currently free @ B&N UK, Amazon UK, iTunes UK, & Kobo (available to the UK, but decidedly unfree at the usual other EU/Oceania countries that sometimes also get the UK freebies, when I spot-checked regional Amazon & iTunes stores, though YMMV). Probably also free at Google Play UK, which I can't easily check from Canada.

Unlikely to cross the pond in any direction as we've a pretty low transmigration rate for UK freebies to begin with, and this seems to exist in a different edition in North America anyway.

Description
In Holacracy, Brian J Robertson outlines a ground-breaking approach to organisation: no managers, only roles

'Holacracy is the opposite of the cliché way to run a start-up. It creates clarity: who is in charge of what, and who makes each kind of decision' Evan Williams, cofounder of Blogger, Twitter and Medium

In traditional companies, managers make decisions, and workers execute the plan. But Holacracy is a revolutionary and tried-and-tested new system which turns everyone into a leader. The organisation looks like a nest of circles, not a pyramid -- but it's not anarchy. It's finally clear who should make each decision -- the person on the frontline has that authority -- and the organisation succeeds by adapting swiftly to pursue its purpose.

In Holacracy, pioneer Brian Robertson explains how to adopt this system across your organisation -- and what you can do just within your department or for yourself -- and how to overcome any obstacles along the way.
