At a previous company, I reported to a "group leader" who had no other reports. That person reported to a director who had zero other reports. That person reported to a VP who had one other report. The overhead of stakeholder management is out of control. With this structure, the leadership wanted all roadmaps and planning to be bottoms-up, which just meant a lot of thrash as every layer tried to figure out what the layer above wanted. I admire how Airbnb has switched to a top-down structure, which eliminates a lot of the unnecessary administrative bloat at companies. It means that the most experienced people are steering the ship. https://fourweekmba.com/airbnb-organizational-struture/ https://fourweekmba.com/airbnb-organizational-struture/
