You're right; even in a flat organizational structure, there's typically someone in charge, such as a founder, owner, or manager. However, the term "flat structure" usually refers to a reduced number of management layers compared to a traditional hierarchical structure. This means there are fewer levels of authority, resulting in a more informal chain of command.

In a flat organization, the lines of communication and decision-making are more direct, and employees often have more autonomy in their work. While there is still a person or group of people with overall responsibility, the overall structure is more horizontal, and employees are generally empowered to make decisions and take ownership of their tasks. This can lead to increased flexibility, creativity, and faster decision-making, but it can also present challenges in terms of coordination, specialization, and conflict resolution.
