I also worked at a company that was similar to the Creo story above.
This was a High Frequency Market making company, total employees ~ 250. "Flat" management, nobody had titles, just responsibilities. Everyone understood the mission and goals. Everyone was highly compensated and empowered to make important decisions without explicit approval.
The whole thing fell apart when the company grew and finally failed when merged with another larger competitor.
These great orgs only last when they are kept small.
- freeopinion 2y agoPerhaps total size isn't as important as ratio of onboarding.
- dartos 2y agoIt’s definitely size. It’s much harder to maintain a shared vision among 20 people than it is for 10. It get exponentially harder as you add more people. Since a shared vision becomes hard to maintain, only those with the vision (read: managers and leadership) can make decisions.
