Zappos is going holacratic: no job titles, no managers, no hierarchy | Nouveaux paradigmes | Scoop.it

Zappos is known for its zany corporate culture.

 

"The company will be made up of different circles—there will be around 400 circles at Zappos once the rollout is complete in December 2014—and employees can have any number of roles within those circles. This way, there’s no hiding under titles; radical transparency is the goal. "

 

"Zappos, which has 1,500 employees, will be the largest company to date to implement Holacracy."

 

“One of the core principles is people taking personal accountability for their work. It’s not leaderless. There are certainly people who hold a bigger scope of purpose for the organization than others. What it does do is distribute leadership into each role. Everybody is expected to lead and be an entrepreneur in their own roles, and Holacracy empowers them to do so.”
