Worth noting Steve Jobs actually studied long-lasting organizations to manage Apple, including the Catholic Church.
“We observed the oldest and largest organization in the world has only four layers of management.
That's the Catholic Church. And, uh, five if you count the highest order I suppose.
So, we see no reason why we need over four layers of management. Indeed, we have usually about three. That’s the president. Maybe, we have a division manager and then maybe under that a marketing or engineering manager.
And that's really about it. So, that's what we're trying to do. […]
We hire people to tell us what to do. [They] come back and tell us how much it's going to cost and go do it. We've got an incredible group of entrepreneurs…[these] people are very independent thinkers and what they really want is…the environment where they don't have to convince 30 other people that it's the right thing to do. […]
We really make an attempt to do that and I guess our feeling is that the day that somebody working in Apple decides that they can't make a difference anymore, is the day we've lost.”
