What do slavery, feudalism, and capitalism have in common? They all concentrate power in the hands of the few that controls the lives of the many.
The master became the lord became the boss.

GUY'S NEWS Common sense & uncommon commitment During almost 40 years at Riverford, I've learned that sustained commercial, human, and environmental growth is invariably the result of functional and diverse teams working towards a common, long-term coal. Employee ownership has taken me on a journey of personal development and learning. I'm no longer the impatient, emotionally illiterate boss, who broke a lot of things and people, but got it just about right enough to survive. Seven years after we became employee-owned, I recognise the misery and destruction wrought by the prevailing model of leadership cults and remote boards, rewarded for delivering short-term shareholder value at any cost. In the process I have become an advocate for industrial democracy and a better boss. I am also much happier. Riverford's fourth co-owner council (elected by their fellow co-owners) met for the first time last week. In the run-up to becoming employee-owned, some senior managers feared the burden of inclusive governance, saying we would "drown in consultation" and become "less responsive" in a rapidly changing world. But whether on pay policy, quality, or operational efficiency, wider consultation brings invaluable breadth and depth of insight - often from those with little to no formal management experience but who spend their days in the thick of the action. This has unquestionably helped us make better and safer decisions, and respond more innovatively and efficiently to customers' needs. A recent example of this is a project at Riverford's Sacrewell Farm in Cambridgeshire, where half of our boxes are packed. Tasked with reducing the number of missing items in your orders and cutting the associated costs, a team of co-owners analysed, tested, reviewed, and then completely redesigned the packing operation. Missing items dropped by 85%, quality control improved, and co-owner steps fell from 22,000 to 2,000 per day, with safer working conditions overall. Tremendous co-owner…

We had a great time on a panel this weekend organized by Resource Generation on Transformative Investing. We got to share the mic w/Working World, Seed Commons & New Economy Project and we very much enjoyed raising the profile of co-ops - especially #workercooperatives - with the rest of the group.
There's nothing like working w/worker co-ops who get how meaningful it is to work on education, conversions and legislation together. Then they send you cool stuff to remember successes.
Thanks @flatironcoop.bsky.social and all our members for all you do.
