Good policy. In worker owned enterprises that are run democratically the owner/employees elect their managers from the ranks. They act as manager for a term and then go back to their original position after the next election. Keeps everyone based in reality.

Decades ago, the Boston University Free Press (the alternative views newspaper) was managed in this manner. My buddy ended up running the paper for a year because he was the least political, most liked guy working at the place. He just wanted people to be happy. After a year, he was no longer happy and was glad to give up the job.

  Managers, like politicians, should have term limits. The temptation for abuse and favoritism is too strong.

    I agree with you for the most part, but what happens when you've got a damn good manager? They exist for sure. They're just unfortunately a minority.

      Then they should share their knowledge with the rest of us and produce more good managers.
