It's a fallacy that "flat" org structures have no hierarchy, they just become more opaque. A team that shares responsibility can have a dynamic hierarchy based on relevant capabilities at relevant stages of work. It's also important to note that I addressed teams in this article not organisations. To cultivate autonomous teams you also need to understand authority, where it comes from and who it's granted to and by whom. The more intentionally authority is understood the less likely power becomes a corrupting force.
