I'm a true believer in bottom up decision making. That said, when I was in the USMC, I had to lead some Marines that I would consider incapable of making even the most basic decisions on their own. It's unfortunate but that's reason the military must have such a rigid hierarchy. If I'd been able to pick only the best Marines for my team, we'd have been able to allow more bottom up decision making. I've experienced it on some teams, others not so much.
