Case Application 2

Holacracy is an organizational system without traditional job titles, managers, or hierarchy. It focuses on how a company achieves its goals rather than positions. This allows for strong collaboration as employees can take on multiple roles and help in any way. It also gives employees autonomy to make structural changes and pursue innovative ideas. However, eliminating managers comes with challenges in maintaining structure, accountability, and defining ultimate authority. The document also discusses that the author would prefer working under a traditional management structure for clearer roles and responsibilities, career opportunities, and accountability.

Case Application 2 - Who needs a boss?

1. What is a holacracy?

Holacracy is an organizational system with no job titles, no managers and


directed hierarchy. It isn’t focus so much on titles and position within the organization,
but emphasize more on how corporate achieve its goals and success. Holacracy also
might eliminate traditional manager’s job.

2. What benefits do you see to an organization where are no job titles, no managers
and no hierarchy?

Holacracy organizes strong collaboration and enthusiastic employees. In these


circles, employees can take on any number of roles, and the expectation is that each
employee will help out wherever he or she can. It will take the reign as an employee
or as team to initiate project and implement innovative ideas.

Moreover, that circle members will pool ideas and watch out for each other. It
gives opportunity to make structural changes to their job and help move the team’s
goal without hierarchical in-charge. The new system also can be helping shape and
mold individuals to work conscientiously, creatively and efficiently as they are trusted
in doing their jobs better than managers as long as they maintain the standards high.

3. What challenges does a holacratic approach have?

The challenges for a holacratic approach would have on the achievability of


its implementation given that holacracy might eliminate traditional manager’s job.
Meanwhile structure and accountability is at hand, the organization still have to
monitor employees performance if they are good enough to the roles and good fit to
the company’s culture.

Additionally, during critical and uncertain situation no one will be responsible


because everyone is expected to lead and might create rebellious employees. And
also they are still figuring out the ultimate authority who will hire, fire and will decide
pay.

4. Discuss why you would or would not like to work in an organization like this.

I would not like to work in an organization like this because based on my


experienced I preferred to work under provision and guidance with people who is
superior and oversee the performance based on its duties and responsibilities. For me
having a structured system, it creates clearer understanding of employees’ roles and
responsibilities, equal opportunity in their career advancement, and accountability
for action and in decision-making. As quoted in the value of studying management,
“ in the reality of work- its either you will manage or be managed”.
