There are different definitions of the word 'boss', but what we generally mean is anyone who has power OVER you and who has inherited that power from a top-down, fixed hierarchical structure.
To be clear, a bossless company doesn't mean there is no structure, no leadership and no authority. The difference is, in what we are calling bossless organisations, people agree the structures and decision-making authority together. We may agree, for example, that someone should have the authority to decide matters in a domain they have expertise or experience in. And if we later learn that this doesn't work for us, we can make a new agreement together.
In bossless companies, there is no longer a dynamic of boss and subordinate. Another way to put it is that we shift from a parent-child dynamic to an adult-adult, partnership dynamic.
Bossless also doesn't mean anyone can do whatever they want. With great freedom comes great responsibility. Working in a bossless company means you must undergo a mindset shift from a consumer of your workplace culture to a producer. You see yourself as co-responsible for your own career development. You see yourself as co-responsible for creating a team that works well together. You see yourself as co-responsible for addressing the challenges you face as a group of colleagues. It can be extremely rewarding working in a bossless organisation. But it also takes a lot of personal development, self-insight and high levels of accountability.
