The opposite of formal management and hierarchy isn't "self-management" and "self-organization" but informal power structures and hierarchies. Ultimately, less security and more social pressure and control for the individual. Brave new world of work.

Yes non conformists do not do well in these sort of organizations

It's an interesting idea. It has many standard pitfalls, as a 1970s paper, "The Tyranny of Structurelessness" points out: http://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm
Basically, informal systems are, by their nature, harder to regulate. And "unregulated" is not the same as "works well and fairly."

good thing Holacracy is everything except "informal", then.. literally the core idea is that you take the implicit jobs of management and make them explicit & open, and allow them to be claimed by more than just one individual.
