This is it. Flat structures aren't totally flat and there is some depth, but it's all about 'us' and there is strong leadership and ownership. People can wear multiple hats to get things done. Essentially, everyone is 'on the same page' for the better of the business.

So they're essentially unworkable as a company gets beyond maybe 50-100 individuals as that is maximum for a unified human social group taking into account that people have social connections outside of work as well?
