About Jose Leal
Jose is an entrepreneur, a change agent, a paradigm shifter, a researcher, and an author. He is the co-founder of Radical Purpose, a Collaborative helping other people switch to ways of collaborating that suit their needs.
His primary concerns are in devising strategies to escape from the current prevailing systems of coercion and exposing the truths about them. In doing so, he sketches out the workplace of the future, one with a balanced environment. This frequently results in harmony and a sense of purpose fulfillment for the individual.
After 13 years of working in a dysfunctional organisation and industry, Jose realised that he could no longer live or make a contribution to the dysfunction of the systems of force. In order to create the Radical Purpose Framework, Collaborative Canvas, and Collaborative Agreement as well as co-author Radical Companies, he has spent the last seven years studying human motivation and organisational environments.
