I just can't see this working. People are different. Some need to be led more than they can lead, some have a strong voice and others are quiet. Does anyone have any evidence to the contrary?
By work I mean, inevitably it will settle into a more informal hierarchy but still there in practice (just not in title).
- gms7777 13y agoI agree that it will settle into an informal hierarchy, but I think that is exactly what they are looking for. They mention that they are looking for natural leaders to step up and such. I think the beauty of this plan, if it works, is that people will gravitate towards the roles that they are naturally good at and the heirarchy that emerges could be far better formed than anything that could have been built by hiring managers top down. Not to mention it will be fluid and can adapt with the company as it grows and changes and new projects come along. That said, I think this can go either way. Not having defined roles and relationships might cause more friction that it relieves. And to quote Douglas Adams, "It is a well-known fact that those people who want to rule are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it". This might just cause a lot of uncertainty with those willing to yell the loudest trampling those around them. I'll be watching curiously.
