No CEO: Swedish company trial running without a boss

We regularly scrutinise best practise for managers. Should more bosses show their employees gratification like PepsiCo’s CEO? Do workers want a boss that’s more passionate or more hard-working? Do employees even want a boss?

Swedish software consultancy Crisp decided that, in answer to the latter, they felt they didn’t need a CEO to oversee their company decisions – BBC reports.

After trialling more traditional employment hierarchies, including having a single CEO and an annual vote on who that CEO should be, Crisp staff found that having no boss worked best for them; a decision taken three years ago and still in place.

Great #crisp conference! Reinventing ourselves, as usual. Decided that we no longer need a CEO role.
