How soul-searching led to building a self-managed organisation

In this episode I’m joined by Founder and Entrepreneur Natacha Neumann. When Natacha founded her children’s food brand in Germany she realised there had to be a better way of operating. After some soul searching and exploring alternative management structures, Natacha introduced self-management into her company. In this conversation Natacha takes us through her founder journey, and how she evolved Erdbar into a self-managing entity.

Key Points Covered:

🧗 The journey of becoming a founder

📦 The challenges of a traditional hierarchical structure

🗺️ The journey to self-management begins

🌈 Team reactions. Fear, confusion and initial resistance

🔵 Holacracy as a starting point

🤯 The doubts and pains of transformation
