Title: Reconciling Performance and Freedom: The Austrian School’s Managerial Legacy (Part 4)

Season: 1 | Episode: 16, Series: 1, Part: 4

What if a company’s true performance came from the freedom it gives its people?

In this final episode of Free Ideas: When Economics Inspires Work, Jessica explores how the Austrian School’s principles — from Menger’s individualism to Hayek’s spontaneous order and Schumpeter’s creative renewal — converge to redefine leadership and organizational design.

This episode invites HR professionals and leaders to rethink how autonomy, trust, and shared responsibility can unlock sustainable performance and innovation.

đź’ˇ What you’ll learn:

  • Why freedom is not the opposite of performance, but its condition

  • How companies like Haier, Gore-Tex, Buffer, and Patagonia balance autonomy and accountability

  • How to create frameworks that enable people — not control them

🎧 For: HR leaders, organizational designers, and forward-thinking managers

đź“Ś 8.30 min · Economics meets HR · Human-centered autonomy frameworks

👉 Stay tuned for the next series: “Freedom and Performance in the Future of Work.”
