Even in a flat organization, some people are good at organizing other folks and getting things done that way, while others are good at sitting down by themselves and cranking stuff out. I&#x27;d say the needle is much farther towards &quot;communication and cooperation&quot; (as opposed to &quot;unopinionated worker drone&quot;) than in a hierarchy, but the spread of abilities is still there.<p>The nice thing about being truly flat is that there&#x27;s no boss to get rid of if they&#x27;re not working out. You just decide not to work with them.<p>[Flat isn&#x27;t totally wonderful and there are still issues with it which I don&#x27;t care to get into right now.]
