The 6-week path to self-management: build a thriving, hierarchy-free organization with +108% profit growth

10+ years of research. 200+ pioneers visited. No other Masterclass gives you this level of access, depth, and truth.

✔️ Faster teams, fewer bottlenecks
✔️ More accountability, less waiting
✔️ Real transformation, no bullsh*t

Designed by international bestselling authors Joost Minnaar and Pim de Morree, creators of Corporate Rebels: Make Work More Fun.

  

Work is broken.
Be the one brave enough
to fix it.

  

The data is brutal: According to Gallup 79% of employees aren't fully engaged, 26% experiencing burnout and nearly 60% feel their work serves no meaningful purpose.

These aren’t “people problems.”

They’re design problems created by hierarchy, bureaucracy, and outdated management systems built for a world that no longer exists.

The companies that replace hierarchy the right way? They’re pulling ahead. Fast.

This is why companies are
abandoning hierarchy

While others debate theory, a growing wave of organizations has already transformed. The approach we teach in this masterclass delivered these results in the first two years (across 100+ companies):

Tired of empty transformation talk? Same.

No academics theorizing. No consultants selling recycled frameworks.

This is 6 weeks of proven methods from Rebels who've actually done it - distilled into a practical, no-BS implementation plan.

For founders, transformation leads, and changemakers who need results, not buzzwords.

Learn from the companies who actually do it.

Good intentions don't replace hierarchy but proven structures do. After a decade studying 200+ pioneering organizations, we've identified exactly what works.

This is beyond concepts. We'll give you implementation tools for building systems based on trust, ownership, and autonomy that deliver measurable results.

No abstract theories that fall apart in practice. No recycled management fads. Just tried and tested approaches from organizations getting real results.

6 weeks that will transform your organization forever

 

After completing the Masterclass, you'll be equipped to create the workplace you've always wanted to lead:

  • A place where people find meaning and purpose in their daily work
  • Where conflicts become catalysts for innovation instead of sources of toxicity
  • Where accountability comes from shared purpose, not management oversight
  • Where smart structures support autonomy without creating chaos
  • Where the organization can adapt rapidly to changes without sacrificing alignment

You'll achieve this through:

  • Exact replacement structures for hierarchy (not theories - implementation blueprints)
  • A transformation roadmap that prevents the common failures that derail most attempts
  • Direct insights from pioneers who've overcome the exact challenges you're facing
  • Lifetime access to a global alumni network who speak your language

But don’t just
take our word for it...

Who's Behind Corporate Rebels?

In 2016, we left our frustrating corporate jobs. We were disillusioned with the slow, uninspiring corporate world and embarked on a journey to discover and study organizations that operate in radically different ways.

After creating a comprehensive list of workplace pioneers, we began traveling the globe to visit and research alternative work approaches. We interviewed management experts, explored over 200 self-managing organizations, and collaborated with academics who demonstrated that many organizations are structured in hopelessly outdated ways.

More encouragingly, we uncovered substantial evidence that success for both companies and employees is achievable - when we fundamentally rethink the way we work.

What does Corporate Rebels do?

We collaborate with an exceptional team to assist organizations to reinvent the way they work.

We operate an online Academy, with this Masterclass as its flagship program, and we connect pioneering organizations through a global network.

Continuing our worldwide research on self-managing organizations, we deliver keynote speeches, conduct workshops, and organize events internationally. We author books, blog posts, and a newsletter.

We also manage a private equity firm named Krisos, where we acquire small and medium-sized enterprises and convert them into highly progressive organizations - using the exact structures found herein.

Additionally, as a company, we donate 10% of our profits to the Corporate Rebels Foundation - a charity dedicated to eliminating inhumane workplaces.

Though our activities vary, our goal remains consistent: to make work more fun.
