Wouldn't it be great to not have a boss? This company is doing it

Good morning to talk -- show brought to guide network. The capital funding corporation your. Future Friday. Sunny and hot today you heard the predictions. You can feel it when you walk outside today already a summer day. And it will get a high temperatures today up around 96 degrees in most places look -- -- along the coast. That's fine but Aurora. Who is the boss well. Valve. Company from the West Coast to Bellevue Washington. Says the company has been boss Fareed. Since it was founded in 1996. It has no managers and does not assigned projects instead. It's 300 employees recruit colleagues to work on projects they think -- worthwhile. The company prizes mobility is well within the company. So the workers' desks are mounted on wheels. And that means they can move per -- like kids in the classroom. And form work areas around teams of people who want to work -- It's the boss Louis company the hierarchy is flat -- is often determined by peers. And the -- WRK a week and see how that works because. Each radio show basically. Is a it's like its own. Subcontractor. Delivering a show and we plan our shows ourselves and we did use our time the way we see fit. And there's a lawsuit to you know tells us out things he needs it tells -- for the most part. Is just kind of guiding in general what direction things going not scrutinizing -- about every minute of how we spend our work -- Is that. What is it but. -- is yelling at me and my headphones before he didn't like my commentary I guess -- beyond. You know that the fact of the matter is we want to be responsible for ourselves we liked being self guided. And there's more motivation to get more out of someone and when when you allow them to be themselves and united structuring them to the point we can use -- every ounce of pre activity in them. I think that's true but I don't know if it's true of ever that. For example you might have been on the job to do you think you could run a fast food place. Where your workers talked to each other about how many people you needed a specific time and they would agree on what time they'd be in. And they would do that on their -- you know could be if you've got it launched properly it's about building a culture. That you would have as a boss some much better environment and much healthier one if you could get people to the place. Where they were making these decisions amongst them down in themselves instead of having it. Handed down by decree there's something about to Korea I think you're right -- when you're working by decree. Develops any resistance because nobody likes having somebody who's got authority over the tour false. Can you imagine an environment. Like this one where companies. Make their own decisions there's a boss wants. But there are managers who are coordinating everybody's activities everybody coordinates their own act -- its. The boss -- company is it conceivable to you it's absolutely. Less efficient upfront says Terry Kelly. Chief executive of a company called WL gore in Delaware. Maker of gore -- and other materials. Her title as one of the few with a company. As the chief executive she says once you have the organization behind. The volume and the execution happen quickly. Companies have been flattening out -- management hierarchies in recent years. Eliminating. Layers of middle management that can create bottlenecks. And slow productivity. A handful. Then have taken the idea a step further. I do things like dispensing with most bosses across the board. They say that the set -- help motivate employees who makes more flexible even if it means doing tasks. That they might not like even if it means that some things are a little more difficult to get working alike decision making and higher. At valve there are no promotions there are only new project it's. To help decide. Hey employees rank -- their peers. But not themselves. Voting on who they think creates the most found the company declined to provide information. About how much it's their salaries vary so that's where I ran into trouble with. And I'd give us your opinion -- 61726666. -- it's hard to imagine a company. Where everybody feels their being fairly or compensated. Where the compensation is fair in its -- to some extent popularity contest because you're yours are voting doesn't have become like high school. Where your voting for the ballot in -- for who's the -- point hold it in the traditional sense though right so if someone was working -- company for you know fifteen years. They would be making a lot more than some that work in the F five yours rate in the traditions yes. What if that person has absolutely nothing he'd punch and punch out they don't come in on the weekends they won't work late that'll last a volunteer for anything. And the present is working five for here for five years. Is all of the places first one to answer the phone because the first one to volunteer to do -- would do lava and delivers the best in order to leverage our best work meanwhile. Can't get the the -- that he deserves -- she deserves 'cause. Someone else's kind of sucking it all up and doing -- And and that unity why would be sucking wind person be getting high -- why would they -- -- doing well and I can say Trevor Boyd. It can be number reasons in the traditional sense they could just take it from. From losing jobs at their union type of thing or. They belong to report -- important -- -- for the night. They know they're not going anywhere it's of the QBs mediocre as they want -- he's talking in traditional soap -- and a traditional sent all of -- not fear that the person who. Busts they've asked for them okay that's not always at every couple years ago is -- making as much as the person has been there for a short years we all know how you feel quirks therefore in the sense of what you that story your reading. Who gets how much I hear -- would be cool that would get rid of that sort of disparity icing on notice that you can see what the motivations. By. I would be concerned where people who are which move users. Would be the ones who were getting the most money not necessarily the ones who are doing the best part of it. That would that you know -- because everybody out but it's it's it's it's. If you don't know who you're voting for -- the votes are going it's just an anonymous ballot. Maybe that will take care. As you can bandage it was a but I know my jobs more difficult as you you -- your job. So just because you begging me to vote for you again Aries yes certainly -- -- Vietnam and not our problem is that then don't vote for. And you never know if I did and this is where real interest in nine of its kind of complicated issue because there's pros and cons. That work for both sides yeah I'm still I'm still we could dump on them. Management's. Well I absolutely. Seen managers not being there anymore. And that if you give more ownership. To different people along the line. People would rise syndication be much more responsible I think so six point 72666868. Alice -- are you good morning. It's said the old system with Adam -- -- the ten commandment in the news in the call are checked. -- when news just and he. Well I mean it got -- aligning it potentially immense and we get all the rules about what it's about to do -- You know I just so all I -- hierarchy of everything and it just it -- and people. You know to everything hit its rules and how it in -- jobs are added he had been here for three years this is adding -- the other. Which -- you at which you think he's done. -- I I think you know it in a way it's accommodation and I don't like politics at the politics. -- -- -- If what with the boxer argued it thought you had to sleep with the bar you get angry as the first thing about it and you. You know they didn't sound in what you want and what they -- it. Because you would be -- longer you work really well. Or are you guys. It said. How much you know like everybody wants me I'm doing it big job -- -- -- the person who evaluate doesn't like me I don't like you'd -- is eligible. Allison which scenario than we. Would the office politics be worse would be worse in the traditional sense -- managers and all these people jockeying for position in building alliances. Or would it be worse in a company. That doesn't have. The clear structure where people -- working together and there are there presumably more results orient it Joseph what do you think about this can you imagine working in this kind of environment. Because I'm just thinking of this so this is a place out in California they don't have any losses that I don't -- Bellevue Washington you know he Washington okay. Thought you know as well as I know is gonna be one person. -- physical in annoying walking around that place who thinks there everybody's loss this happens everywhere even places where you do have a boss. There's 23 people walking around the boss everybody around right. Well but if if you're -- is being voted on by your other. Your coworkers. And you would have to be careful about being dominating because people don't wanna be dominant right. Yes that's true if it just it sounds like kind of a a libertarian. Socialistic. Place to work though if you ask me any. But your your opponent -- turn out to be if you had a group of people who were determined not to be productive. Then you have the worst case scenario socialism I think you're right but. If if it's capitalist environment where everybody's dying. To achieve and make more money and win on their projects you know get great results. You it's about getting it set up -- launch properly I think that would be the hard part. Do you think that actually this place like that where everybody is behaving that way there's there's always a nod. In the group -- a couple of does and that it was always a couple those people that I mentioned those those eagle test. -- -- -- Law and around and then also those people who just know how to -- their way to the top of everything. And hassle so so there is that concern -- -- -- build good morning -- our Q what's up L. Good morning what happens when things go horribly wrong and somebody needs to make a decision while there isn't isn't good I don't think you'll all know narrow. And and so he can do hiring and firing for example. But he lets see all. Imagine all those layers of bureaucracy. In the normal big company environment. Are they ever productive India idea ever have you relived -- in that environment day in and day out where you CP ball. Who'd just don't know how to handle people and seemed to be hurting productivity and yet upper management doesn't seem to know. Hot and cold business decisions it's more like who wore it. Just don't like this guy because he was. Mean do you account and a lot of it has not been minutes. I think it's had a -- you know it's gonna do about that much how much of a group. Well as CEO of wanna do what's gonna war. The middle managers I think they're the ones who you know the thing that's hard to find is a CEO -- K -- And drink enough to try something different like this and able to get it launched because they say the hard part is starting the culture out beginning at born. And you know make insure the you have people who were willing to go along with. -- or are you good morning Jim. A point where you can meet. So children. L or companies that make the cortex. Multi go out there and to all of their down in Delaware yeah they do this to yes it's it's fascinating and I think. They put tremendous amount of energy at its peak and a bit higher. I would like but boardwalk. -- they say any ploy any employee can participate in hiring decisions which are usually made by teams. Firings while rattle relatively rare work the same way teams decide this is -- gore. They decide together someone isn't working out. Right exactly and and I think they have a pretty high turnover early a lot. Like cycle because they figure it's not about -- need more structure and need to be told that bill. Yes some trouble might not like I'm having actually to work so hard thank you Jim for the call as for project managers. Managers someone typically emerges as the de facto manager says -- Kumar. Who's been in sixteen years at -- this is the West Coast company when no one takes the lead it's usually assign a project. Isn't worth doing and they make their decisions based on that isn't that interest and stuffed it can you imagine it working 617. 2666860. At the top five -- OW RKO. Talk here's amber logon to WR Kerio dot com we are also news talk station and they had a 66. What you want Kerio.
