Leadership and dynamic self-governance
I am currently reading We the People by John Buck and Sharon Villines, which is a book about dynamic self-governance or sociocracy. The concept of leadership goes much deeper in a self-governed organization than in a traditional autocratic organization, because leadership is the responsibility of all. Each person is expected to take part in both…

Book Review: Maslow on Management
The basic theme in Maslow on Management by Abraham Maslow is “enlightened” management. What I found particularly interesting was Maslow’s commenting of contemporaries like Drucker, Likert, McGregor, Argyris, Rogers, Skinner, et al.

Svartfotsindianerna väljer alltid den ledare som är bäst lämpad för uppgiften. Vem som är…
