Hello; i am seriously considering implementing holacracy in my 20-ish people company. However, while transparency and the constitution will in theory encourage commitment, how far can (did) you go to prevent harmful behaviour, like a role filler not filling his duty of processing (4.1.2), or even...

I think so, yes.I am also curious to understand how, beyond the psychological effect of openly saying "yes, i failed to reach my key metric" in front of your coworkers, Holacracy may help solving the situation of a Role filler never reaching the goal, especially when other Role fillers succeed do...
