Zappos moves toward a boss-less model

Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh shared a company-wide email on March 24 telling employees that the online shoe retailer would be moving toward less corporate hierarchy and increasing self-organization among employees.

Reported by Quartz, the company-wide email (which was more than 4,700 words) in March outlined that employees who don't want to stay on with the unconventional corporate strategy, and meet certain criteria, can opt to leave the company and receive at least three months' severance.
The system, called "holacracy," will involve self-governed "circles," or teams, as opposed to a pyramid of managers and employees.
"The tasks of management ― setting direction and objectives, planning, directing, controlling and evaluating ― haven’t disappeared," Hsieh wrote. "They are simply no longer concentrated in dedicated management roles."
"I think the drawbacks are people might not know where their job titles begins and where it ends," New York Times contributor Hannah Seligson told TODAY's Hallie Jackson. "I think only time is going to tell how this is going to play out."
