The problem that I see is that people are heavily rewarded by being leaders, and so sell themselves as leaders even when the group incentive isn't there. I encountered this extensively in university, when seemingly every student was trying to be the president of their student group, or trying to found their own group of questionable value.
I see the same issue in the work world- executives are so heavily compensated that there's a strong incentive to become an executive, which requires one to act as a leader. However, that's often not what's best for the group.
- maxxxxx 11y agoTotally agree with that. The only way to get better pay for most people is to be a "leader" no matter you are suited for it or not. Especially in the US there seems to be this emphasis on leadership. There is not much respect for people who are doing a good job.
