Goals

Designing roles that match individual capability with organizational goals
Making decisions closer to the work
Responding to emerging market needs

Implementation

Lead link - Responsible for assigning people to roles in circles

Employees carve parts of their job they don't want into new roles, which lead links can assign people to

There is still organizational structure, it's actually very nested
There's still hierarchy, it's just contextual
It's not majority rule- changes are adopted unless someone else proposes that they are harmful

Issues

Splits attention in a lot of different directions (an average of 3 responsibilities per each of the 7 roles someone has on average)
Complicates compensation
Complicates hiring
While differences in status are mitigated, they definitely still exist
When leadership is a shared responsibility, everyone must practice it
