Ofok operates in a post-bureaucratic manner. We all call each other by our first names, and there is no "boss" in the strict sense of the term. We try to create an atmosphere in which every person has a say, and where everyone feels part of a team. In our opinion, the best way to pursue a strategy is for decisions to be made through dialogue and consensus rather than authority and command.
