Libertarian Management
*** Shopping-Tip: Libertarian Management
{{verify}}
'''Libertarian management''' is participative and/or non-authoritarian self-management, which typically emphasizes repetition of proven successes,
institutional learning, and earmarking funds to project investment. Libertarian consultants generally focus on management and system productivity, not worker productivity. Libertarian management exponents believe the method can be applied beyond industrial settings in areas such as alternate family arrangements,
co-housing, and the
co-op movement.
While no text on the subject exists, Libertarian management has been highly influential as a guiding concept among American Libertarian founders of
intentional communities and American management productivity
consultants. Noted proponents of Libertarian management include
Deming and
Drucker, consultants at the former
GMW in Pittsburgh, and
Brycedon International in Ontario, Canada. Many companies use the concepts and techniques of Libertarian management, some of which are listed below.
