Upgrade your mindset. Master the skills. Thrive in self-management.


A key part of reinventing our organizations is upgrading the structures and processes. But there is often a missing piece: our mindset and behavior. 

Without upgrading how we think and who we are, self-managing teams won’t thrive. They won’t work the way we want them to.

In researching hundreds of self-managing organizations, we have come to know their struggles. 

The ones we hear about most?

01.
People struggle to adapt
With most being new to self-management, it’s not easy to unleash the right mindset and behavior, leading to untapped potential and suboptimal leadership.
02.
Leadership vacuum
Without formal leaders, teams sometimes lack direction and struggle to make strategic decisions, potentially leading to drift or missed opportunities.
03.
Letting go of old habits
People often fall back on ingrained command-and-control behaviors, undermining the self-managing structure and creating friction within teams.

What is the Self-Management Bootcamp?

Together with Tuff Leadership Training, the go-to trainers on self-management skills and behaviors, we're launching a program specifically aimed at supporting people to thrive in self-managed organizations.

It's called: the Self-Management Bootcamp.

This Bootcamp is an intensive, experiential training in the mindset and skills that make self-managing teams work.

In bossless organizations, we need more leadership, not less. But it’s a totally different kind of leadership, and this bootcamp is designed to help you develop it.

Who is the Self-Management Bootcamp for?

This Bootcamp is for anyone in a self-managing team or organization. Yes, that includes everyone—founders, leaders, and team members alike.

It's perfect for:

  • Leaders who want to lead in a different way - without relying on command and control.
  • Employees who want to step up and take ownership in a self-managing environment.
  • Team members looking to develop the skills to excel in flat or bossless organizations.
  • Managers transitioning from traditional hierarchies to more progressive structures.

What to expect?

A challenging, practical training designed to apply an adult-to-adult mindset and way of being to unleash the full potential of your teams.

This is an experiential and intensive program where active participation is key. Expect a mix of solo, pair, and group exercises—some with role play, others using real cases. The training will be held on Zoom, utilizing breakout rooms.

What NOT to expect?

Theoretical training, ‘edutainment’, or webinars where you sit back and just listen!

Time commitment

The program consists of 6 modules spread over 6 weeks. Each module is an afternoon and a subsequent morning, including breaks (with the exception of the final module which is just one half-day).

Note: We strongly recommend attending all sessions for the full experience. The magic happens in the live interactions, and each module builds on the previous ones. Missing sessions will significantly impact your learning and the value you get from the Bootcamp. If you can't commit to the majority of dates, we suggest waiting for a future cohort that better fits your schedule.

What's the price?

The Bootcamp is €3,450. You can enroll here.
