titles, no managers and no top-down hierarchy with upper, middle or lower levels where decisions can get hung up. Through holacracy the focus is on the work that needs to be done and not on some hierarchal structure where great ideas and suggestions can get lost in the channels of reporting. What Benefits do you see to an organization using holacracy?
An organization with no job titles, no managers and
no hierarchy, or in other words, an organization following the steps of holacracy, is claimed to increase agility, efficiency, transparency, innovation and accountability (within the organization). The approach encourages individual team members to take initiative and gives them a process in which their concerns or ideas can be addressed. What Challenges does a holacratic approach have?
The transition to a holacracy, however, does
not come without challenges. The hardest challenge that holacracy needs to face is possibly its sustainability. The problem arises when the incapacity of the teams to self- regulate becomes evident. As human being, we tend not to have the necessary discipline required to manage ourselves, which invalidates the self-management effort at the base of the holacratic revolution. Moreover, it's very hard to apply compensation to an employee and its hard for an employee to get a proper incentive. Lastly the consensual, democratic decision-making and getting everyone's opinion can seem chaotic and too much consensus, too much effort. Would you or would you not like to work in an organization like this?
On the basis of opinion and choice, I would like to
opt for an organization which follows holacratic approach. It is because first of all, it would give me control over my own independent decisions and actions. Secondly, according to the views of people working under a holacratic approach, every task and project realized with a circle in the organization, needs to contribute towards the purpose and every strategic decision made is focused on the company's purpose of existence. In other words what I think is in an holacratic approach the focus is to make the people feel like home given the free will to talk so that in case of any problem everyone's focus will be to get rid of the problem and since unity is strength so it will be easier. So because of all this I would like to opt for a holacratic organization.
