Holocracy....It's not for the corporate masses

Aloha Friday! We all follow different blogs, news sites, etc along with the things that interest us most.  I follow several different sites and just recently read something I wanted to share your reading pleasure that I found very interesting. 

Have you heard of Holocracy?  No? Wait until you read what it is and how many companies are not doing it.  Really, it's not for the masses.  But one very popular company is implementing it now and I look forward to following this story.

In lieu of boring you with anything else, I'll cut to the chase and add the link so you don't have to scroll to the bottom:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/on-leadership/wp/2014/01/03/zappos-gets-rid-of-all-managers/

I'd also like to add that if you have not read much about Zappos, it's a pretty cool company to read about. Tony Hsieh, CEO is awesome.  Not just because he has an incredible business track record, but the things he does within Zappos I would not necessarily consider "the norm". 

In 2009, I had the opportunity to see Tony speak.  I found his style very interesting and even refreshing from what we typically see.  So the Holocracy implementation is not all that surprising. 

This presentation also made me a fan of audio books.  Tony shared a few of his reading recommendations which I found interesting reads.

So I'll leave you with one more link from his 2009 presentation and a few of his recommendations. http://www.slideshare.net/zappos/zappos-sxsw-31409

Have a great weekend.  @bryrei
