Scenario

When egalitarian ideals meet natural leadership dynamics

We're a worker cooperative and we started with this ideal of shared decision-making, but some people naturally take on more leadership and others seem happy to follow, and I'm not sure if that's okay or if we're recreating the same hierarchies we wanted to avoid.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Democratic structures don't automatically eliminate power differences, and groups must wrestle with whether emerging hierarchies represent failure or evolution.
