Christiane Seuhs-Schoeller: Reimagining power and purpose in self-managing organizations

In this episode, I am joined by Christiane Seuhs-Schoeller, a seasoned entrepreneur and global expert in self-organization, power systems and purpose-driven work. With over fifteen years of experience in exploring the shift from traditional hierarchies to self-managed structures, Christiane has focused on understanding how these changes impact individuals and organizations. Her journey led her to write a book “New Stories of Love, Power, and Purpose: A Global Invitation to Experiment With the Unknown,” where she examines the evolving dynamics of power and purpose in the workplace. In our conversation, we discuss how organizations can move beyond hierarchical systems by adopting distributed authority, the challenges and opportunities this shift presents and the practical ways individuals can develop greater agency and self-awareness. Drawing on her extensive experience, Christiane provides valuable commentary into navigating this new organizational paradigm and fostering collaboration in decentralized environments. Enjoy and listen!
