S9E05: Building, scaling and decentralising... all the way to full employee ownership, with Thomas de Cad'oro Granier (CEO, Equal Experts)
July 12, 2022
"You need to let people mark their own homework."
Equal Experts engages 3,000 consultants across 5 continents and helps create leading digital products and services for corporates, scaleups and the public sector. In this episode their Founder & CEO, Thomas de Cad'oro Granier, speaks with Xquadrant's Founder Richard Medcalf.
We're continuing our season "Mission Driven CEOs". Top CEOs discuss what drives them and we explore the impact they want to make beyond just the financials - in terms of the company mission and their personal leadership legacy - and how they put that into practice on a daily basis.
In this conversation, you’ll discover:
- How Thomas created a structure that fosters freedom, transparency, and encourages free thinking
- The "Advice Process" that enables decentralised and empowered decision-making, at scale
- The one thing that's so important, that Thomas thinks "it should be illegal for me to do anything else except that"
- How Thomas plans to radically decentralise the business and adopt a full employee-ownership model
