Management is mostly needed for two things [*]:

- Organising the work and steering it in the right direction

- Ensuring that people work well together, help them grow, deal with "people problems"

If and when both of the above is achieved without a person holding the title "Manager", you don't need them.

This can be achieved by hiring 51%ers for example [1] and by actively monitoring the health of your organisation.

[*] YMMV: the hardest problem in any organisation is the "people" aspect, there's no silver bullet.
