The community led organisation | Ft. Columbia Road

The community led organisation Podcast

In this episode Simon Fransson – General Manager at Columbia Road, together with our host Claes Peyron – Managing Director for Nordics & UK at Universum, are talking about completely flat organisations, meaning no hierarchy in roles. 

Columbia Road is a community led organisation, which you can define as a company without any managers or as a company with only managers. Simon and Claes discuss the self-leadership as an effect of everyone being their own manager as well as trust and transparency being key in this type of company structure.  

Simon tells us about the fact that everybody gets a company credit card at day one starting their career at Columbia Road which can be used for every decision they are making.  

How does this structure affect the culture? How big can a community led organisation get? How do you recruit new candidates? Is this structure for everyone? 

This and much more in this super interesting episode!
