Radical Companies
Co-Owned. Co-Managed.
Collaborative Communities.

A book written as an exploration of what a real company could be.

Radical Companies
Reimagining Work Without
Bosses or Employees

In a world where traditional organizational structures often prioritize hierarchy over humanity, Radical Companies offer a transformative alternative. Rooted in the principles outlined in the book Radical Companies: Organized for Success Without Bosses or Employees, these organizations are owned and managed by the very individuals who embody and give them life.

At the heart of a Radical Company lies a fundamental belief: that people are not mere resources to be managed but living beings with intrinsic needs and purposes. This perspective aligns with the Radical Purpose Dynamic, which emphasizes the importance of recognizing and embracing our innate life needs—Being, Meaning, Impacting, Belonging, and Becoming.

By shifting focus from control and coercion to collaboration and co-creation, Radical Companies foster environments where individuals are empowered to take ownership, make meaningful contributions, and grow collectively. This approach not only enhances engagement and satisfaction but also drives innovation and resilience in the face of change.

Embracing the ethos of Radical Companies means challenging the status quo and daring to envision organizations where power is distributed, voices are heard, and every member is a co-leader. It's about building workplaces that are not just efficient but also equitable, humane, and aligned with the rhythms of Life itself.

I’ve spent 40+ years in technology. My work life has been bookended by Sun Microsystems at one end and Nearsoft at the other. They have shaped my beliefs about business and Capitalism, for very different reasons. The experiences I’ve had along the way, good and bad, underpin the RADICAL concept.

Over time, I got off the treadmill, and by the time Roberto and I started Nearsoft, about 10 years later, I was a very different person.

I started several businesses while I was in my late teens and rode the Internet wave, reaching that entrepreneurial dream—the successful exit.

I’ve spent the last several years researching and studying what makes us human and what prompts us to certain actions and choices. Our vision is a future where the traditional Fiat hierarchy no longer grinds people into submission but rather the new realities of co-management and co-ownership give people and organizations the opportunity to flourish.

I have always been interested in what I would call the Third Way. When dealing with a dichotomy, both sides are getting it wrong. The idea is to end the game that no longer serves us, so we can arrive at an idea that is new enough to create a whole new game.

It will take all of us, operating at our best to pull ourselves out of the nosedive that global civilization finds itself in. And I intend to help make the social tools we will need to free ourselves to operate at our maximum capacity for independent action.
