This is actually a lot of what the Holacracy system does (though most business mags get it totally wrong in the US -- less so in the EU). Unlike some of the fad "flat"/structureless stuff that just eliminates managers, Holacracy focuses on decentralizing those management functions that still need to exist (because management is needed, even if there are no managers) in roles and processes, and reducing the "Lead Link"/"Circle Lead" role in each team to something that takes ~10% of a person's time and is focused around the garbage collection for the team and helping the team get problems out of their way.
