Sort of works if you start that way. Meta sort of does this by putting the onus of creating and working on the right project on individual contributors. This is sort of product and project management evasion of division of labor by making everyone shoulder the burden of a cross-cutting concern without any help. Similar to getting rid of secretaries and personal assistants when some leaders aren't good at time management, scheduling, remembering people or events, or being the least bit organized... certain people plus the right personal assistant can comprise an immensely productive and impactful team like a superorganism. Drastically changing who holds priorities and assists with unblocking company-interfacing issues isn't leadership, it's anarchy without setting a tone or a direction. It just sounds like the leadership class doesn't have a clue what they're doing and will try a reorg and another layoff should the continued beatings not have the desired effect.
