I find the ideas developed by this article fascinating. Especially the idea that the war for talent leads to a war on talent. The idea that decentralization is a way to commoditize leadership talent in particular really appeals to me.
But the conclusion seems wildly optimistic. Leadership and management isn't that easy to commoditize. Open source projects still need some management, and, insofar as they don't, it's because they're staffed by either volunteers or people who aren't strongly pressured to have their pay match the value of their work output.
I'm a fan of open-source, but I don't think it generalizes to other sectors. Certainly not to the point we could slap crypto on it and let companies manage themselves.
