| I don't know how Github runs, but it sounds nothing like Holacracy. The author is confused (as are many people on this thread). Six months ago, I switched my company (over 50 full time employees in 3 cities) to Holacracy. I'm here to tell you that I'm 100% convinced that it's a huge step forward in terms of any organizational system I've come across. There's nothing 'flat' or 'manager-less' about it. It's a complex and intricate system that leads to greater clarity, less politics, and better distributed decision making. Accountabilities are clearer, meetings are more efficient, and more voices are heard. Holacracy explicitly avoids design/decide by committee. If you're running a company with more than 10 employees, I highly recommend you take a serious look at Holacracy. It's the best decision I've made by far, and I'm never going to work for, or start another company without running it this way. If you're earnestly curious, drop me a note and I'll be happy to talk about it more with you. |
