What is Leaderless

Leaderless is about you - the Leader - guiding the Fourth Industrial Revolution for the benefit of all humanity!

For the first time in our history, we have enough technology to be able to give people more control over the decision making processes. Leaderless will help educate people about how we can achieve this. It will require a drastically different outlook on life to make way for a new and improved way of approaching the problems we face and how to solve them.

"The Fourth Industrial Revolution will change our relationship to life, our relationship to the planet, our relationship to work" ... and our relationship to ourselves .

Why Leaderless

Joblessness - In a world where automation, robotics, 3D printing and artificial intelligence will cause job losses, our focus needs to be more on collaboration than competition - to do business with purpose over profit.

Leadership - Many of our political and corporate leaders, who's duty it is to lead and grow society, have failed us and we need new ways to take ownership again. By decentralizing society, removing the hierarchies and encouraging collaboration, we can create the world we want to live in. Manifested by the people.

Direction - We believe that most people are unhappy with their lives because they don't know who they truly are in this fast-paced life. We believe technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence and Blockchain will cut out the middleman in almost every industry. We believe this will free many people to seek and find themselves again in order to live a more meaningful life.

We believe, we're in the business of buying time for people to reach their highest potential.

Goodbye 2018, hello extreme ownership in 2019

By James van der Hoven | 31 December 2018

Ask not what your country did for you in 2018, ask what you can do for your country in 2019 ~ (a slight change to John F. Kennedy’s words) As we say goodbye to 2018, a year filled with more political chaos and scandal than one could ever need in a lifetime, I am filled…

Why we will need a Universal Basic Income

By James van der Hoven | 13 April 2018

Many people ask me, “when are we going to make money out of Bitcoin again?” My answer is always the same. “You will make money with Bitcoin, but you’re missing the entire point of Bitcoin” What many people are not seeing are the parallels that are happening in the world at the same time. It…

5 Small steps to a semi-decentralised society

By James van der Hoven | 31 October 2017

It’s become very clear that our leaders simply cannot be trusted any longer and that the taxes we pay towards service delivery has been abused to enrich the people we elected to lead us instead of uplifting society as a whole.
