I think hierarchies are optimal for command and control but they work best when power is not distributed hierarchically as well. Ie some kind of bottom up feedback that keeps the upper levels of the hierarchy directly valuable to the lower levels all the way up.
Self organisation that doesn’t end up having leader nomination needs something like voting or consensus driven decision making instead : I haven’t seen that produce good decisions efficiently.
- prmoustache 5y agoI've worked in a company working in holacracy. Some people are more active or passive than others. Some people are more vocals than others. Some people have better social and negociation skills. In the end although there is no hierarchy per se, some natural leaders emerge, and they are usually best suited for the job than some managers who are clueless about what the team is doing because they still have to do the job and be accounted for.
