Libertarian management is participative and/or non-authoritarian self-management, which typically emphasizes repetition of proven successes, institutional learning, and earmarking funds to project investment. Libertarian consultants generally focus on management and system productivity, not worker productivity. Libertarian management exponents believe the method can be applied beyond industrial settings in areas such as alternate family arrangements, co-housing, and the cooperative movement.
While no text on the subject exists, libertarian management has been highly influential as a guiding concept among American Libertarian founders of intentional communities and American management productivity consultants. Noted proponents of libertarian management include W. Edwards Deming and Peter Drucker. Many companies use the concepts and techniques of libertarian management, some of which are listed below.[citation needed]
Libertarian management and the US Libertarian Party
The last three chairs[which?] of the United States Libertarian Party have worked as management consultants. Members of the Party often[quantify] refer to organizations using Libertarian management as "do-cracies" - systems which emphasize decision-making by the initiators and implementers (i.e. doers) of a project. Typically, decisions in such a do-ocracy come about through a consensus process.
