Ideas

Vletter speaks and writes about entrepreneurship, leadership, tech trends, and cloud tools, as well as about manager-free ways of organizing and scaling companies, including holacracy. The common thread throughout his own organizations is equivalence, and this equality is reflected in how each organization is organized; all companies work without management, roles or functions, and are entirely self-managed. Other topics in Vletter’s focus include online privacy and net neutrality.
