    So instead of having jobs, in Holacracy people have roles. Each role belongs to a circle rather than a department, and circles are guided not by managers but by lead links.

Sounds like The Circle by Dave Eggers...

Duuude, I thought the same thing.

What'd you think of The Circle? I really enjoyed it conceptually. As a literary piece of work, it sucked (IMO).

Duuude, I agree with you. Interesting concept, bad execution. Couldn't finish it.

Damn, really? That's a shame. I marathoned the end. Granted, I was on an 11 hour flight so...there wasn't much else to do.

Interestingly enough, I did not anticipate the ending.
