Earlier I had a post about companies with maximum revenue per employee. At the top is OnlyFans. CEO of OnlyFans, Keily Blair, is building a business that outperforms Google and Apple in efficiency by orders of magnitude. Consider: $167 million in revenue per employee.

Keily recently shared her approach to company management in an interview. It sounds like a revolution. Here are her commandments:

1️⃣ Kill middle management.
OnlyFans' formula is a special forces unit, not an army.
— At the top: super-seniors who know what to do.
— At the bottom: hungry juniors who want to learn everything.
— In the middle: NO ONE. "We don't have that 'blurry' layer of middle management because, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a truly good middle manager," says Blair.

2️⃣ Everyone works hands-on.
At OnlyFans, there is no career path of "I grew into a manager and don't do anything else."
— Even the CEO, CFO, and CTO are individual contributors. They don't just manage; they do.
— Result: no "empires" within the company, no bureaucracy, no lengthy approvals. Decisions are made instantly.

3️⃣ Hire believers, not mercenaries.
The main interview question: "Are you willing to sit at a family dinner and honestly tell what you do?"
— They look not for a resume, but for a combination of attitude and aptitude.
— They need people who believe in the mission, not those who just want logo merchandise.

4️⃣ Grow through contracts, not headcount.
To avoid bloating the team, OnlyFans uses a flexible model.
— Need to launch a big dev project? Hire a contract team.
— Worked well together? Take the best ones on staff.
— Result: no KPIs for department size and no managers hiring people just for status.

When a company of 42 people generates $7 billion in revenue and pays out $25 billion to creators, perhaps the corporate world should stop copying each other and look at those who are truly changing the rules.
