Summary

I hear more and more about "flat" organizations. It's a great concept, though flat orgs are often accompanied by an overactive aversion to authority that leads to a lack of clarity and accountability. This episode is about how we can change the way we think and talk to focus less on authority and more on responsibility and leadership skills.
