Whoever calls me “boss” will be fired

Whoever calls me “boss” will be fired

Sounds a little bit too radical? I agree and honestly I haven’t executed that until now. But why the radicality?

I want to build an organisation, a system that consists of people thinking for themselves. For the type of work that we do (problem solving for organizations that want to drive change and innovation) this is absolutely necessary.

As an organization we can only thrive if we bring different ideas and thoughts to the table, even if I don’t like them. They still have a high probability of being better than my own ideas.

Calling me “boss” signals a way of thinking where I am put on a different step of the ladder, hierarchically, of which I don’t believe to belong there.

In the competition for ideas, mine are as good as anybody's.
