Regardless of your prejudices and perhaps negative experiences with holacracy, I would highly recommend the book, 'Reinventing Organisations', that Zappos' employees were encouraged to read. You can download it here: http://www.reinventingorganizations.com/pay-what-feels-right...
It is a fascinating read and will help you think about how to structure your organisation regardless of what structure you deem fit. The most interesting insight, which I can see most of the commenters here are probably not aware of (as I wasn't), is that in Teal organisations (such as ones who implement holacracy), it is recognised that different structures and behaviours are applicable depending on the situation. For example in a war an army better have some hierarchy or they will get wiped out but in a modern company the hierarchy is not as necessary if at all. Anyways, even if you never touch a holacratic model, go read the book. Guaranteed to be at least a rewarding thought experiment.
