As Shakespeare might have put it, To be flat or not to be flat?
Most organizations respond with: To be flat.
Then they boast about it to potential employees. But the question is not of flatness, because even flat organizations are fear-based given that they are run by dictators-by-definition.
The big question is, "To be free or not to be free?"
We know the answer we want, but are companies willing to turn themselves into genuinely free organizations?
This means having real leaders - leaders who have been elected.

- I'm the author of the book, "Why Your Boss is Programmed to be a Dictator". The book examines boss behaviour through the lens of Systems Thinking (you can find out more on my personal website, cvdhruve.com). I've worked for a variety of large organisations such as Cisco, IBM and the British Civil Service (Department for International Development, which is the aid wing of the Foreign Office). I have an MBA from Cass Business School in London, an MA in international journalism from City University (London) and a Bachelors in Physics, Electronics and Maths from Bangalore University (Bangalore).
