Zappos adopted Holacracy and things almost went viral.
"Research shows that every time the size of a city
doubles, innovation or productivity per resident increases by 15 percent. But
when companies get bigger, innovation or productivity per employee generally
goes down. So we're trying to figure out how to structure Zappos more like a
city, and less like a bureaucratic corporation.” – Tony Hsieh
Holacracy is a new way of working and this is how it works.
It’s about clarity and stripping of power and creating a
system that enables and distributes the power of decision making. Self-management
in one word. While I read the book that I bought last week and then come up
with the review; I thought it’s only fair that I at least share it with you
guys.
