1. Holacracy doesn’t tell you
how to run your organization
!
Fix: use process to create clarity
evolve
![Page 23: Holacracy, another management hype? Practical perspective after 2 years.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051108/54706da7af7959a41e8b4a8b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

to run your organization

have to suck it up !
