A lesson from Valve, which supposedly has no org chart: a company with no hierarchy has politics instead. I'm certain other companies that have tried that model have the same problem.
- readthenotes1 4y agowell, i think you mean there are always politics
- djmips 4y agoWould you rather have obvious politics or invisible politics.
- disgruntledphd2 4y agoYou'll always have both.
- djmips 4y agoI'd prefer not to have a shadow government which is I feel is more likely at a company with no hierarchy.
- danabrams 4y agoAll companies have politics. What you’re describing is the difference between the messy politics of having to convince others vs the easy politics of telling everyone what to do. But dictatorships don’t have nearly as good a performance record as democracies, despite their “efficient” politics.
