Every team will always have different people. Some need more hierarchy, some need more autonomy. Some differ on SCARF. Some differ on Myers-Briggs personality type. Sometimes the differences are big. Usually they are small and not binary. The job of a manager is to create an environment, where all those different people can efficiently work together. This means every manager will to some extend create their own system in their sphere of influence. Your GE example, fits my theory as well. ;)
