Here’s a very interesting read from Business Insider on Holocracy and how Tony Hsieh is letting it reshape the structure and future of Zappos.
I heard Seth Godin last week in New York say we shouldn’t be the generation that is given a mile and only takes an inch.
I’m hearing that again in this interview.
Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos, is one of the guys that I’m always taking notes from. Back in March, I read an article in Fast Company about his decision to move the company to adopt Holacracy. Holacracy is “…a new way of running an organization that removes power from a management hierarchy and distributes it across clear roles, which can then be executed autonomously, without a micromanaging boss.”
Today, the book came in.
If you or anyone you know has implemented Holacracy, I would love to hear about the experience and learn whatever you can teach me.
I started reading it tonight and as the book reads – ‘change can be elegant’.
Sounds fun.
