#221 Participate! - with Roberto Martinez

> Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.firsthuman.com/being-human-newsletter/   This week, I sit down with Roberto Martinez, co-founder of the software company Nearsoft. As a follower of famous business radical Ricardo Semler, Roberto built a company culture based on: No formal hierarchy Meaning and belonging as foundations Transparency and decentralisation The number one message from Roberto that I took away from our conversation is that if you want a vibrant, humane culture, you've got to find ways to have everyone participate. We talk: We talk: Cooking for the team High participation *and* fast decisions Handling transparency in larger organisations Letting go of hierarchical mental models
