Zappos Embraces Holacracy as Millennials Shape the Future of Work
Millennials are the kids who were born between 1977 and 2000. They’re also the next generation of buyers, sellers and CEOs. Many of them operate a little differently, which is why online retail store Zappos has embraced holacracy into its internal structure. Holacracy is a structure that allows workers to self-manage, embraces a collaborative work environment and get rid of the hierarchical structure–all of which make for a great, open work environment. The jury is out on the approach, but you have to give them credit for thinking outside the box. Read more about holacracy here: http://bit.ly/1J1E2o8
