Unconventional thinking yields better results in business.

• Remove paternalistic management practices and structural hierarchies;
• Organize around small units with extensive decision rights;
• Let employees ‘own’ their own business units and align interests through profit sharing;
• Meritocracy leads to efficiency;
• Unlock innovation by making it is OK to experiment, fail and try again;
• Maintain a small executive team that provides services and facilitates;
• Be transparent - train employees to read financial statements and open your books;
• Enshrine a culture of ‘cathedral builders.
