What Corporate Leaders Can Learn From DAOs and Decentralized Leadership?

In this conversation, Katerina and Jessy explore the shiny, new ideas shaping the future of organizations—namely decentralization, democratized decision-making, and transparent information flow. Drawing on Katerina’s experience working inside emerging organizational structures and teaching on new technologies, they translate concepts from Web3, DAOs, and network-based leadership into practical lessons for leaders working in traditional companies today.

Together, they unpack why information sharing is becoming one of the most critical leadership skills, the strengths and limits of decentralized structures, and what corporate America can adopt (without needing a blockchain or token system). The conversation highlights the evolving role of leaders—not as answer-givers, but as connection-builders who create the conditions for people to collaborate, communicate, and make better decisions together.

As more organizations operate in complex, fast-changing environments, leaders are increasingly expected to orchestrate networks, not manage silos. This episode bridges the world of emerging organizational tech with real-world leadership challenges—and gives listeners practical ways to experiment with decentralized principles in their own teams.Learn more about Katerina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katerinabc/
