Of course the power dynamics never completely go away. There are a myriad of kinds of power dynamics - gender, race, and class up bringing all bring their own forms of power dynamics, to say nothing of just basic interpersonal interaction styles.

The organization's structure is intentionally formed to level the power dynamics as much as possible to allow the most input from the most people. It's just democracy, applied to business organizations. And there's quite a bit of sociological evidence - *empirical* evidence building that it is just as effective, and possibly more effective than the hierarchy.
