This week I speak with Peter G. Klein, economist and co-author of Why Managers Matter: The Perils of the Bossless Company.
Having been a veritable fanboy of super flat organisations since the start of my business career, this week we hear from the other side of the argument.
We talk:
- Myths and reality of 'bossless' organisations
- Do flat organisations perform better?
- Are people really better off without bosses?
- Management for knowledge workers
- Humanising bureaucracies
