More and more companies attach importance to the fact that the cooperation among colleagues works and want to keep the hierarchies in the company as flat as possible. What do we actually mean by a flat hierarchy? There is usually more freedom for employees to make decisions than usual; in return, employees have to show more initiative and take responsibility.
