Exploring alternative power structures isn't teenage angst, saying we don't like bosses is one particular view of the world and it isn't immature or mature. It recognizes the fact that work can get done without coercion. Bad leaders will lean on the authority of being a boss and be coercive. When you have no bosses or you have temporary leaders/bosses who don't have authority there is no choice but to convince your peers that the thing you're working on is worthwhile. "We don't like bosses" is only teenage angst if there's no alternative provided or explored. >Not really sure why anyone would think democracy was a good way to run a company George Orwell described the difference in the fascist and anarchist armies in Spain, where the anarchist groups had to convince their peers to do something. Yes it took a little longer to say "we should attack/defend X because Y and Z, and <insert answers to more questions about the plan here>" than to say "we are attacking/defending X right now or you will be shot". But each person who signed up to the plan were convinced that it was a good idea, they were more dedicated. So yeah, you're right, lots of people in a company aren't good at leading. So either we help them get better or we reduce the power of bosses so that if a bad leader becomes in charge we all don't have to suffer (democracies are stronger than monarchies and dictatorships, pretty good reason to explore how democracy can benefit a workplace).
