Deleberate Chaos in Organizational Structure

The five benefits of the horizontal organizational structure above seem so ideal. It seems as if this structure is the only one that is the best in this millennial era. However, we need to look at and pay attention to the foundation for developing with this flat-type Organizational Structure is neither simple nor easy. Management as a whole must have some understanding, among others:

• The understanding of humans as creatures that continue to develop continues to learn and want progress for themselves.
• Understanding of Vision, Mission, and Goals, as well as the organization's basic philosophy as a basis for attitude and behavior.
• Understanding of Organizational Culture, since it was built until the creation of organizational character/character.
• Understanding Leadership, Organizational Behavior, and Organizational Processes (Organization, Communication, Performance Evaluation, and Career & Socialization) are applied without interests that undermine the Organizational Process itself.

In the end, I, as an observer and at the same time as an employee in an organization that has a horizontal structure, try to conclude that the main reason for using a horizontal type of Organizational Structure is not because of its effectiveness and efficiency factors, but because the Organizational Culture is mature, and allows the type of Organizational Structure, horizontally standing upright on it. If not, then what happens is a struggle of interests, conspiracies, gossip, rumors, social jealousy, and bringing each other down. Wallahu A'lamu Bishshawwab.
