Modern organizations require innovation, creativity, agility and initiative to adapt to constant disruption. The fundamental building block of modern organizations is self-organized teams rather than hierarchies. Organizations scale by grouping teams to maximize purpose and autonomy, and by organizing communication flows between teams. Spotify uses various types of self-organized teams like squads and chapters that are generally long-lived, as well as short-lived groups of teams for specific programs. True autonomy and alignment are not a dichotomy, and modern leadership involves creating a system for self-organization, building consensus around directions, and coaching teams rather than commanding them.
