Rethink Your Understanding by Phil Clark

Episode notes

In this episode, the AI hosts explore my article, which argues that a flat organization is not defined by fewer managers, but by where authority and decision-making reside. The conversation examines a model where self-managed teams own delivery while managers focus on coaching, development, and creating the conditions for autonomy to work.
