Maybe I don't understand the entire concept of a "holacracy", but it sounds very similar to a workers cooperative. Or how Richard Wolff tried to rename it too as WSDEs with the Democracy at Work project. But it really sounds like workers cooperative to me.<br>

Those who have expressed interest in a co-operative model of<br>

In a typical top-down management structure, the power to hire and<br>
fire employees is generally in the hands of managers. With Holacracy<br>
at play, the game is entirely different: with the decentralization<br></div>
of authority [1], the separation of people and role [2], and the<br>
dynamic evolution of those roles [3], we end up with a situation<div class="im"><br>
that looks more like free agents going about their work with no<br>
central planning. There might not even be a single person who knows<br>
about everything you do. This then begs the question: who can decide<br>
how and when to hire or fire?<br>
<br>
Holacracy doesn’t answer that question; it simply gives you a<br>
framework and processes for your company to figure it out. In other<br>
words, if Holacracy is an “operating system” for organizations,<br>
the “hire-and-fire” function is an “app” that needs to be<br>
added separately.<br>

If you follow us on social [4] channels [5], you might already know<br>
that HolacracyOne just released a new "Partnership App" [6], and<div class="im"><br>
it's freely available.<br>
<br>
What do we mean by "app"? It extends the metaphor of Holacracy as an<br>
“operating system” for organizations. I like this comparison<br>
because it accurately reflects what Holacracy is, as well as what it<br>
isn't. On a computer, the operating system provides a basic<br>
framework for “apps” to function harmoniously in the same<br>
environment. Similarly, Holacracy provides a basic framework for<br></div>
_how _to decide, but it doesn't tell you _what_ you should decide<div class="im"><br>
for your business. In other words, it doesn’t answer typical<br>
business questions such as “what’s our employee compensation<br>
system?”, or “how to allocate resources?”.<br>
<br>
There are many different ways of answering these questions and<br>
Holacracy doesn’t choose one for you — that's the domain of<br>
"apps". At HolacracyOne, we've adopted a new "app" to define how our<br>
partnership functions work, and although it is still experimental,<br>
it's fleshed out enough to share it with you. Check it out in our<br></div>
blog post [7]!<br>

The question was: “How can we account for the difference between<br>
partners deeply committed to the organization, and those for whom<br>
the commitment is lesser and more temporary?”<br>
