"... what did it mean for an online retailer with annual sales of more than $1 billion, that fills 280,000 orders per week, to be “self-organized”?...
Holacracy is ... just one example of a growing movement... that seeks to apply insights derived from evolutionary biology and psychology, systems and chaos theory, as well as New Age spirituality and postmodern philosophy, to corporate management practices...
Teal... isn't so much about work or workplaces, but a new stage in ... humanity's consciousness... a Teal organization ... empower its members to be creative, independent, adaptable, and self-directed—an alliance of entrepreneurs rather than an army of servile corporate drones...
