Interesting take, as she says herself a bit woowoo but I do believe she has a point:
The whole concept of power structures in the form of pyramids probably does not have to exist. At one point it was the only practical way to leverage the collaboration of a large group of people and form an organisation that produces value. But now with technology you can allow large groups of people to self organise without a central command and control structure.
I have been fascinated a long time with SEMCO , Ricardo Semler's company in Brazil.
They did exactly what she said in the video, they did away with most of the pyramid hierachical system: Exellent interview with Tim Ferriss here
Here is a great intro to his thinking, he questions everything!
He recently started an excellent podcast called Leadwise interviewing other people who started very successful decentralised companies.
