About the Summary
Editor’s Note: This book challenges traditional workplace structures and advocates for self-managed, purpose-filled organizations where people are empowered to lead, create, and thrive together.
The No-Limits Enterprise introduces a compelling alternative: self-management. It offers a vision of organizations where people collaborate without coercion, lead without titles, and work in alignment toward shared purpose. Through principles rooted in trust, commitment-keeping, and personal responsibility, author Doug Kirkpatrick outlines how businesses can move beyond bureaucracy to achieve higher levels of engagement, innovation, and resilience. Drawing from real-world experience and human-centered insight, he offers practical strategies – from creating peer agreements to redesigning decision rights – that help organizations thrive without rigid control.
In this Executive Book Summary®:
- Understand why traditional management systems are breaking down.
- Explore the 15 hidden costs of bureaucracy in modern business.
- Learn how self-managed teams foster innovation and commitment.
- Discover how to implement self-management in any organization.
