Publisher's summary

The fastest growing and most competitive organizations in the world have no bureaucracies, no bosses, and no bullshit.

The tomato sauce in your pantry. The raincoat in your closet. The smart TV hanging in your living room. What do all of these products have in common? Chances are they were created by organizations where colleagues self-allocate into teams based on intrinsic motivation. Where individuals self-manage their commitments to each other without the coercion of managers. And where teams launch new products and ventures on the market without the control of leaders.

These organizations represent a new, radically collaborative breed of corporation. Recently doubling in number and already comprising eight percent of corporations around the world, scientists and researchers have discovered that radically collaborative organizations are more competitive on practically every meaningful financial measure. They enjoy higher market share, higher innovation, and higher customer satisfaction than their traditional corporate competitors - and they also enjoy higher engagement, loyalty, and motivation from their employees.

In this groundbreaking book, technology thought leader and organizational architect Matt K. Parker breaks down the counterintuitive principles and practices that radically collaborative organizations thrive on. By combining the latest insights from organizational science, sociology, and psychology, he illuminates four imperatives that all radically collaborative organizations must embrace in order to succeed: team autonomy, managerial devolution, deficiency gratification, and candid vulnerability.

Millions of workers around the world are collapsing under the weight of command-and-control culture. The crisis has reached its breaking point. Now is the time to embrace radical change. Discover the revolutionary shift to partnership and equality and the economic superiority that follows with A Radical Enterprise.

Preachy social justice yapping

While there are several solid points discussing common problems in the majority of business structure organizations and how they can fail to address certain needs. The notion all leadership described in Matts terms throughout the book are but one example of the many logical fallacies. This book and its premise would not survive in a fact based academic debate on many points. However, he brings up some interesting ideas. Worth the listen.
