Can you name any business that's been successful at scale without managers?
Valve.
Are there really no managers at Valve? Genuinely curious
Yes. Valve is a flat structure company. There are positives and negatives to this.
Look at valves wiki page for their specific structure and more information.
Wow. Til!
Managers can be fine, but middle managers are generally worthless IME. Not much value added by having someone manage the people that actually manage the people for a C level, too much abstraction just drives crushing corporate culture.
