Typical Forbes hit piece on an unorthodox thinker. Tony was a little to 'anarchistic' for Forbes. Key phrase:

"He experimented with a revolutionary—some would say anarchistic—version of a “holacracy” management philosophy, where no one at Zappos reported to anyone nor carried any titles. (It didn’t work: One out of seven employees took a buyout.)"

It didn't work? Really? Company was and is doing fine after 17% took advantage of a nice buyout.

The bias in the article is obvious - some clips:

"while Hsieh remained an extremely rich Peter Pan", or

his "fatal trait" of "not wanting to be alone"

Sure, it sounds like Tony was off the rails, and it ended in tragedy. But this hatchet job is not necessary. Just the facts please.
