What Tech failed to learn from Hollywood: The best teams operate like film crews. They come together for a brief period of time to do something specific, and then disband.
Hollywood doesn’t marry its teams. They have beautiful, intense project-based affairs. No one is monogamous (work-wise).
In tech and pretty much every other industry, work works differently. Teams endure for years, often past the point of being relevant. Inertia determines a lot of what we do. We build cozy, long-term relationships that can be super fulfilling, but sometimes unproductive.
To get around this, [experts] have experimented with holacracy in its early days. The Greek word holon means “whole,” and a “holacracy” (as opposed to a democracy or an autocracy) is made up of autonomous units that operate both independently and in concert with each other.
