Like most democratic systems, checks and balances are probably useful. I would expect the CEO (or relevant manager) to veto a salary that was unhealthy for the company. It was implied as much when the author indicated that he checked the company's numbers before telling the team the average salary would be used. Also, the very transparent nature of the company's finances in this example also helps a democratic process work smoothly.
