But for the most part CEOs and presidents are replaced regularly with very little effect on the stability of very large and powerful organizations. A handful of debatable counterexamples don't change that it's the majority and the norm. Of course stability and efficiency are much more transparent than disruption.
- api 5y agoYou're right in that really effective innovative leaders are rare. Still... I am not familiar with many examples of cases where the leader was removed and not replaced and things didn't fall apart. I would like to see more experimentation in this area though. We don't experiment nearly enough with social structures.
- guerrilla 5y agoYeah that's beyond my claims though. I'm only saying that they're totally fungible and things getting done don't depend that much on a specific individual. Mmm as far as experimentation, the closest I can think of on a large scale (besides anarchist groups which never had leaders) is that in Europe when a government can't be formed, they can operate without any official leadership even though there's a caretaker government (usually the previous one, who don't have a mandate anymore) but that's kind of formal. Big cooperatives usually elect leaders, so they still have them even though they're elected and can be recalled.
