The Hierarchy of Anarchy: Holarchical Structures and 3D Management

Getting rid of formal bosses does not mean hierarchy disappears. That is a common misunderstanding in this new tendency towards boss-less and flat organizations. The root cause of the problem is the belief, especially of people at the green level of development, that hierarchies are inherently bad. In this paper we resort to integral theory to recover depth in organizations where higher is no longer a dirty word but a natural and desirable condition of a holarchy. Using 3D-Management theory as a framework, we will explain in practical terms how self-management and holarchy are fully compatible within a holarchical organizational structure.
