In my business there's no hierarchy. That's somethings that meant a lot to me when I started out 3 years ago and remains just as important today. I learn so much from everyone that I work with. On occasion there'll be something that requires just me to make a decision but most of the time I'm not frightened to ask everyone what they think/what they'd do.....all that happens is that they end up having or at least feeling like they have ownership on lots of other stuff. People need to feel valued and including them in decisions lets them know that they are important and that their opinion counts. Also agree with the job title thing. I had 'director' on my card for a long time, Kirsten had 'do'er' Scott had 'sales guru' but now we've not got titles anymore cause we all do loads of stuff and again it means there's less sense of hierarchy and importance. I do think every business needs a leader though. I do think people need defined, clear goals. But people often know how to get there collectively better than just one person. Anyway, nice thought provoking...... Rant over I like this approach. In my business there’s no hierarchy.
