This article isn't about how to structure your organization, it's targeted at people who are thinking about how to be more effective leaders.

If the leaders in your org are crap, then your org is lost no matter whether it seems to have a flat or top-down structure; but if you're already in charge and thinking about how to make things work better, the lesson of the article is to be clever about it, rather than defaulting to the dictatorial mode.
