Could you provide an example of horizontal organizing structures? Im interested in learning more.
This is a business example. A wildly successful one at that.

Wow, thanks for the information! This is a really cool example I'd not heard of. There's a lot in that business philosophy that mirrors the ideas that are floating around in the spaces I've been in. It's interesting to see these things pop up, arising from different areas, but highlighting the same structural failings of systems and organization. The more I'm learning, the more I tend to believe that instances like this are indicative of something less akin to parallel thought and more so convergent thought.
hey thanks! Just read through it. It’s definitely a refreshing take on running a company.
Wow this was an interesting read. Got any book recommendations along the same lines?
Just piping in that agile is pretty horizontal.
