It’s also related to the division of decision-making, usually between workers, with little or no executive authority, and management, with some to all of the executive authority. Creative roles are typically closer to management, and their knowledge bases are siloed, as is the business’s operational experience and expertise.
Everyone wants to be close to power, but how many actually wield power effectively? What types of hierarchy are amenable to diffuse power structures? A lot of business are run like petty fiefdoms, and may not benefit from a minor change, and yet may not have the stomach for radical reform either. Worker owned co-ops and DAOs give me hope for new ways of working.
