"a system in which members of an organization or society are ranked according to relative status or authority." - Oxford dictionary
Different types of Hierarchy:
Monarchs
Organizations
Working a job
Most things will have a form of hierarchy
What about no Hierarchy?
There’s also a lot more transparency in a non-hierarchical organizational structure due to the more limited amount of bureaucracy that exists. Having fewer levels of management also leads to faster decision-making and streamlines internal communications; there’s far less back-and-forth between teams and those that wield power and thus less wasted time.
The biggest problem with a non-hierarchical structure is that it’s much harder to scale it as an organization grows. While a non-hierarchical structure will work well for smaller companies, it can start to become inefficient during periods of high growth because the executives and managers can begin to lose control if the organization isn’t properly managed. This can lead to poor decision-making and a loss of productivity.
