The ad-hoc organization

Morning Star’s management model promotes speed and flexibility, a point Rufer makes with an analogy. “Clouds form and then go away because atmospheric conditions, temperatures, and humidity cause molecules of water to either condense or vaporize,” he says.“Organizations should be the same; structures need to appear and disappear based on the forces that are acting on the organization. When people are free to act, they’re able to sense those forces and act in ways that fit best with reality.”
