Organizational Structure

Holacracy v5 Module 1: This module defines a standard format for encoding the roles and circles (“teams”) of the organization, as well as basic responsibilities anyone in a role must agree to (e.g. tracking your projects/actions into some system outside of your mind). It also defines the core structural roles necessary for a circle to function, such as the Circle Lead, and defines their responsibilities and authorities.

This structure is unique, among other reasons, because it allows to define roles around the work of the company, instead of around the people. One person may therefore have multiple roles, and a same role may have several people assigned to it.
