After spending a decade pouring his life into a company only to feel "absolutely nothing" upon its sale, Peter Steinberger found himself adrift for three years, searching for a spark that had long since flickered out.

For decades, companies have been built on the same foundation: hierarchy. Managers oversee teams, information flows up and down the chain, and decisions are made at the top before filtering across the organization.
