This was seriously inspiring. Thank you for posting it. We are running a completely flat organisation, but with the full awareness that just saying there's no bosses in no way removes the power dynamics from human interaction. Breaking down power hierarchies and reconcieving leadership in the way Rand eloquently describes here requires constant conscious effort and innovation in information flows, communication, delegation, and decision-making. Through practice, we've come to the very same conclusion that the fallacy at work in traditional hierarchical organisations that fail by many humanistic measures (happiness, creativity, autonomy) is not that management and leadership are important - they absolutely are - but that the people who perform those functions should be placed higher on some sort of pyramid and paid more, and that the work of management should be necessarily embodied in specific people as opposed to a function that can be spread amongst many, according to their specific abilities and capacity. We're still working out the specific mechanics and processes, but we're making headway. It's great to see others thought leading in this space.
