Holacracy is an alternative way of working, a form of self-organization, and structuring of organizations aimed at reducing hierarchies. It has been practiced in organizations for over 15 years and has been subject to critical scrutiny.
This book puts the one-sided criticism of Holacracy into perspective from both a broader viewpoint and through the eyes of an experienced Holacracy practitioner. It addresses the criticism in detail and critically examines the methods of science itself.
With the aid of polarity management according to Barry Johnson and integral theory by Ken Wilber, the book offers conceptual frameworks that systematically incorporate neglected perspectives on management practices. Thus, it makes a valuable contribution to fostering a more constructive dialogue between organizational practitioners and researchers.
Key content:
- Fundamental information about Holacracy: what it is, its elements, and how it works.
- How Holacracy differs from Sociocracy.
- An overview of the current state of research and criticism of Holacracy.
- Concrete recommendations for Holacracy practitioners on dealing with flawed practices.
- Polarity management and how it can assist in navigating central polarities in Holacracy (and other organizational forms).
- Organizational practice and research from the perspective of an integral-informed epistemology.
