Thought for the weekend

Zappos, an online shoe retailer, announced that the company was eliminating managers and attempting to make Zappos “a fully self-organized, self-managed organization by combining a variety of different tools and processes.” The move to self organize involves the adoption of Holacracy, a system of governance that emphasizes the distribution of authority.

Subsequently, about 14% of the company’s workforce, or 210 out of 1,503 employees, quit.
