When Ryan Carson's post made the rounds here not too long ago, I was really surprised by what got them thinking about removing their managers. http://ryancarson.com/post/61562761297/no-managers-why-we-removed-bosses-at-treehouse http://ryancarson.com/post/61562761297/no-managers-why-we-re... By 2013 we had grown to 60 people with seven managers and four executives. As we added more people to the team, we noticed something disconcerting: rumors, politics and complaints started appearing. If you have more than two people in an organization of any kind (company, sports team, high school, PTA), you're going to have all of those things, and it has nothing to do with good or bad management. They seem pretty happy with their decision to have changed their structure, but if they think that the rumors, back channeling, and quiet lobbying are gone, I think they're going to be disappointed.
