Owners Are Changing The "Normal" Management Structure

[KRL]

In the past as we all know the normal management structure of a
front office was vertical:

 

Owner
GM
HC

 

But now with what has happened in MIA, WAS and ATL it seems like
owners want a new horizontal structure:

 

      Owner
GM           HC

 

Where the GM and HC are on the same level and both report directly
to the owner.  The GM has responsibility over the roster and the HC
has responsibility over the team on the field.  I wonder why this
is happening and will it catch on?

Flattening management structures is all the rage in business this decade. The idea is to spread power and decision making authority and bring the CEO (owner) closer to the rank and file.

It works if the CEO knows what he's doing....

 

Woody?  That's going to be interesting since no HC that's any good is going to let a GM pick all the "groceries" and how is Woody going to manage when the GM wants Free Agent A signed and the HC wants Free Agent B?  Also Draft Board set up...

This and you know there has been a shift to "flatter structures" in corporate org charts in recent years. I think this is just some weird extension of that as well.
