Holakraatia

Holacracy is a management system that aims to distribute authority throughout an organization rather than concentrating it at the top. Developed by Brian Robertson, it replaces traditional hierarchical structures with a system of self-organizing teams called "circles." Within these circles, roles are clearly defined, and individuals can have multiple roles.

Instead of managers, Holacracy uses a process called "governance" to make decisions about roles and processes. This involves meetings where members propose changes to the organizational structure, which are then adopted or rejected based on specific rules. Authority is granted to specific roles, not individuals, and can be exercised within the defined scope of that role.

Key principles of Holacracy include transparency, distributed authority, and a focus on operational excellence. It emphasizes a dynamic and adaptable organizational structure that can respond quickly to changing circumstances. Employees are empowered to take initiative and make decisions within their designated roles and circles, fostering a sense of ownership and engagement. The system aims to reduce bureaucracy and increase agility by making decision-making more distributed and efficient.
