In the '90s, Tom Peters launched the idea of liberated enterprises. But it was in 2009 that Isaac Getz made it famous: Companies where management is at the service of employees. Employees take power, make choices, and decide together on the company's future. This approach postulates that Douglas McGregor's Theory Y is valid: people like to work. He is not selfish, as Adam Smith envisages, and he is not lazy, as Taylor claims.
The founding value is trust in the human being.
Success has not always been forthcoming, as employees have not been convinced of this freedom and the obligation to get involved in the company's affairs. The mobilization and commitment of employees are the foundations of such a company.
