I've been reading your work for over twenty years, and there has been a lot of good stuff coming from you. This post strikes me as one of the best and most useful posts of many good and useful posts from you. For me, it prompted the questions "What kind of organization do I want to work in? What is going to be most satisfying and effective?"

Interesting. I've got a question about this one. Is there an "interlocking wheel" structure? I'm thinking about a professional services firm where each partner has their own staff team. Each partner's group of course is hierarchical, but heavily dependent on the contributions of each member, most of whom are credentialed professionals themselves. So, I'd say the teams fit the definition of wheels. The firm is governed by the group of partners, who co-own the practice and make decisions by consensus -- another wheel. I could imagine applying this approach in some arts contexts as well. Thoughts on this?
