That’s a great, thoughtful response. I don’t disagree with anything here but thought I’d add one “Yes, and” note regarding your military experience. What I’ve found working in a place with virtually no top-down authority is that interpersonal compatibility matters quite a lot to achieve business outcomes. I figure most organizations land somewhere between a military and my workplace in the top-down authority dimension, so they probably also rely a bit more heavily on interpersonal compatibility than your experience with the military would indicate is actually necessary. I strongly agree that this is a liability, however, due to its potential for maintaining and entrenching biases of various types.
