How do you manage a 50-100 person team? Honestly that sounds as bad as a skeleton crew of 1-3 people. The reality is that oft-hated word bureaucracy is what's needed. A hierarchy. Using a military analogy: "teams" of 2-3 ppl, 2 teams in a squad, 3-4 squads in a platoon, 3-4 platoons in a company, etc, etc. Each of those entities in the organization should have a lead. Someone who's responsible for their group's performance. Now you can stretch this, and minimize paperwork to expand say, a squad to 10-12 people (instead of the 7) but that either requires a talented squad lead, or some stuff gets ignored (ok for short term, not good long term). If you have large loose teams without a hierarchy it's madness
