Humanocracy: Creating Organizations as Amazing as the People Inside Them

Gary Hamel and Michele Zanini imagine a world where human beings, not processes or methods, are at the center of organizations — replacing bureaucracy with Humanocracy. Their theory includes a new hierarchy of work-related capabilities focusing on those that create the most value for an organization: initiative, creativity and daring. The ultimate goal is to create a more empowered workforce that allows humans to do their best work unfettered by bureaucracy.

Humanocracy provides insights, guidance and examples of organizations that have made employees feel more empowered, courageous, connected, compassionate and community-driven.

“It’s time to free the human spirit from the shackles of bureaucracy – and that doing so will produce profound benefits for individuals, organizations, economies and societies with courage, compassion and contrarian thinking, anyone can transform a large organization-whatever into their title or position.”
