Why There Are No Bosses at Valve - that is what you need if you want to have a creative and agile business. Hire the right people and give them 6 months to adjust.
An article from 2012 on Valve Software—"the company behind the Half-Life, Counter-Strike, and Portal video game series—released its employee handbook to the public because, according to Valve co-founder Gabe Newell, somebody asked. “I’d mentioned the handbook on a podcast and one of the listeners contacted us and said, ‘Hey, can I get a copy?’ So [designer] Greg Coomer sent him a copy and all of a sudden, it got posted online,” he says. The handbook attracted a lot of attention because, in addition to offering company massage rooms and free food, Valve has a unique
corporate structure rarely seen at such a large company: Valve has 300
employees but no managers or bosses at all."
