Summary of Brian J. Robertson's Holacracy

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The most important business lesson I learned was the day I nearly crashed an airplane. I was a student pilot working toward a private pilot’s license, and the only companionship I would have was a well-worn bank of instruments in the cockpit. #2 We humans are all different, and we have different talents, backgrounds, roles, and fields of expertise. We sense different things. Where there are multiple people, there are multiple perspectives. However, on most teams, critical perspectives that aren’t shared by the leader or the majority are ignored or dismissed. #3 Evolution is the most intelligent designer around. It is a process that creates new designs and solves difficult problems. It can be used to enhance the sensing power of the human consciousness available to organizations, which can then be used to enhance their capacity to evolve. #4 The predict-and-control approach, which seeks to achieve stability and success through up-front planning and centralized control, is not suitable for today’s rapidly evolving world. The structure of the modern organization rarely helps ignite the passion and creativity of the workforce.
