I don't really like the idea of putting managers "below" workers. The fundamental reason why middle managers behave in such shitty ways is that they're insecure. (Their job is to be leaders, but they often aren't the leaders the group would pick; they're compliant stooges selected by executives who trust them to favor upward interests.) Putting management at a level below workers is just as bad and will probably produce even more incompetent management than the dogshit we already get. We need to accept different that isn't below or above. What we need is a radically transparent system that allows for division of labor and investor/worker symbiosis but doesn't turn that into an excuse for parasitic behavior at any level: http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/gervais-macleod-17-building-the-future-and-financing-lifestyle-businesses/ http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/gervais-macle...
