In 2013, when Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh introduced Holacracy to eliminate hierarchy throughout his 1,500-person company, the business world watched intently. Five years later, the transformation remained incomplete, with significant employee resistance and turnover. Was this a failure? Not according to The Loop Approach creators. This apparent setback simply demonstrates that meaningful organizational change is complex, non-linear, and requires patience. We're witnessing the greatest organizational upheaval since the Industrial Revolution-rigid hierarchies giving way to flexible, network-like structures. This shift is happening because today's professionals demand meaning and autonomy, hierarchical pyramids respond too slowly in competitive markets, and our world desperately needs purpose-driven organizations to address humanity's greatest challenges. Think about how information flows in traditional companies: frontline employees notice market changes first, but information crawls up the chain of command before decisions trickle back down. By then, opportunities have vanished. This isn't just inefficient-it's existentially threatening in today's fast-paced environment. The pyramid thrived when business models could remain unchanged for decades, but that world no longer exists.
