As a follower of famous business radical Ricardo Semler, Roberto built a company culture based on:

Meaning and belonging as foundations
Transparency and decentralisation

The number one message from Roberto that I took away from our conversation is that if you want a vibrant, humane culture, you've got to find ways to have everyone participate. We talk:

We talk:

Cooking for the team
High participation *and* fast decisions
Handling transparency in larger organisations
Letting go of hierarchical mental models
