Alternatively, you can have democracy (either direct or representative). That solves precisely this problem. No matter what politics is played, in democracy, you always have the same vote. So fighting for power becomes meaningless (actually, not quite so, but it becomes possible for you not to get hurt even if you don't do it as a full time job).
There indeed are self-managed enterprises which use democratic principles (worker cooperatives), and they work quite well. However, I understand that people who try to sell "self-management" to companies avoid mentioning democracy, because, as I said, there is an elephant in the room and that is that the capitalist organizations (capital-owned) are fundamentally not democratic from the workers perspective.
