Is the future of leadership self-organized?

Many organizations focus on creating more flexible and effective work habits. These types of working conditions demand a different and adaptive organizational environment.

At this NOCA event, the Danish EV-charging company Clever shared their story on why and how they have changed their work environments to a more boss-free and non-hierarchical organization. As well as about how they implemented a sociocratic organizational structure and a co-leadership mindset, the challenges they faced, and how they overcame them.

Clever is inspired by the sociocratic approach, which is a theory that aims to make organizations more fit-for-humans, inclusive and self-organized and to make room for everyone to have a voice.

Watch the video from this NOCA event and get insights into the team- and purpose driven practices of Clever. Hear about their scale-up journey from a small group of people with a sustainable ambition toward an organization of +200 people.

During this session, we looked into the following:

  • How does Clever work with co- and non-hierarchical leadership?
  • What are their daily practices like? 
  • What challenges did they face in the transformation, and how did they solve them?
