It's a good article, but there's a flip side to not having titles: You risk
confusing people who don't know much about your company yet.

To put it another way, titles aren't just about establishing a pecking order

unknowingly send an email to the person in the CEO role, that message might
sit in the CEO's inbox for a while before getting redirected to
