Due to the diversity of human preference and desire, I don't think that's a realistic course of action for a broad swath of humanity. People are going to be attracted to each other irregardless of principle. In fact, you could even argue that by pushing this sort of relationship towards the forbidden or taboo, it highlights the appeal. When people are going to spend hours and hours of time together, there's no helping the fact that feelings are going to happen eventually.
It's also not hard to conceive of a person who wants a power relationship with a strong, motivated, and ambitious person. That being said, where are you likely to meet someone who is grinding out the hours to reach success?
None of this is to say your proposed approach is invalid. It's an approach that works for some people. I just don't think it's realistic to expect that it's going to be widely followed. As this article notes:
"Workplace romances are commonplace. Statistics indicate that anywhere from 40-47% of employees surveyed had been involved in a workplace romance. Beyond the 47% involved, about 20% indicated they were receptive to an office romance."
