No Kings: How Do You Make Good Decisions Efficiently in a Flat Organization?
I would like to refer to the following - The Tyranny of Structurelessness, originally meant to address the concerns regarding &#x27;flat&#x27; organizations.<p><i>&quot;This means that to strive for a structureless group is as useful, and as deceptive, as to aim at an &quot;objective&quot; news story, &quot;value-free&quot; social science, or a &quot;free&quot; economy. A &quot;laissez faire&quot; group is about as realistic as a &quot;laissez faire&quot; society; the idea becomes a smokescreen for the strong or the lucky to establish unquestioned hegemony over others...<p>...Thus structurelessness becomes a way of masking power, and within the women&#x27;s movement is usually most strongly advocated by those who are the most powerful (whether they are conscious of their power or not). As long as the structure of the group is informal, the rules of how decisions are made are known only to a few and awareness of power is limited to those who know the rules. Those who do not know the rules and are not chosen for initiation must remain in confusion, or suffer from paranoid delusions that something is happening of which they are not quite aware.&quot;</i><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jofreeman.com&#x2F;joreen&#x2F;tyranny.htm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jofreeman.com&#x2F;joreen&#x2F;tyranny.htm</a>
