In Holacracy, Brian J. Robertson outlines a groundbreaking approach for organizations: no managers, only roles. "Holacracy is the opposite of the cliché of running a startup. It creates clarity: who is responsible for what and who makes which decisions," says Evan Williams, co-founder of Blogger, Twitter, and Medium.

In traditional companies, managers make decisions, and employees implement the plan. However, Holacracy is a revolutionary and proven new system that empowers everyone to be a leader. The organization resembles a nest of circles rather than a pyramid, but it is not anarchy. It is clear who should make each decision – the person on the front line has that authority – and the organization succeeds by quickly adapting to pursue its purpose. In Holacracy, pioneer Brian Robertson explains how to implement this system throughout the organization and what can be done within one's department.
