The Company Made Without Managers

📚 Made Without Managers — The Truth About Working Without Bosses

What happens when a company runs for 10 years with no managers? In this episode of my Book Club series, I’m reviewing Made Without Managers — the real-life story of UK health tech company Mayden and their bold shift to self-management.

Told through the voices of team members (not just the founder), this book shares the practical realities, emotional challenges, and big wins of removing traditional hierarchies — and what they put in place instead.

In this video, you’ll learn:

✅ Why “no managers” doesn’t mean “no structure”

✅ The roles Mayden created to replace traditional management

✅ How they co-created ways of working from day one

✅ The personal growth shifts needed to thrive without bosses

✅ Lessons from a decade-long journey of evolving culture

If you’re curious about self-management, alternative ways of working, or just love an honest, inspiring business story, this is a must-read book.
