The places I’ve worked at where “everyone is a leader” ends up with 1 person feeling adamant about something. And everyone else disagreeing, but then saying: sure whatever, we will do it that way.
Nobody wants to have conflict and nobody is in charge. Leads to a lot of very bad decisions imo.
- nickthemagicman 7y agoCompletely agree. And the product or project is typically super chaotic.
- redisman 7y ago"Flat" organizations I've worked at, the day-to-day works alright since we could actually be "Agile" and chop features off to deliver on time and make other decisions like that. Now big picture items like which projects we do - it was all decided by a small group of founders/early employees who had a lot of political and informal power which was very frustrating.
- DoofusOfDeath 7y agoAgreed. In my one experience with "self-organizing" teams, there was one individual who always got his way because he was so unpleasant otherwise. IMHO that had a terrible impact on the resulting software.
