Chief among them is “holacracy”, or rather, Holacracy® – a public idea that’s also a privately owned concept, which is about right for this strange new world. For those not up on their radical management slang, Holacracy is a “complete system for self-organisation” that replaces traditional hierarchies with a supposedly more efficient system of autonomous teams of employees called “circles”.
Many such attempts have centred around greater self-organisation and autonomy for teams and individuals, be it Linux's open-sourced operating system, Spotify's self-organising “squads”, or the online retailer Zappo's more radical “holacracy” philosophy of decentralised decision-making.
