LEADERLESS: Leaders Are The Weak Link In Our Systems. We No Longer Need Them.
Let's create a LEADERLESS society.
Leaders are the weak point in our systems. They are the point where the corruption happens. Many people think we need better leaders, but we disagree. We think we need better systems — systems so good that they no longer require leaders to run them.
Here is a podcast via Airchat where one of our ghostwriters, Josh Ketry, describes how Collective Intelligence (swarm intelligence), transparency, decentralization, and high trust groups can be used to run systems and ultimately fix society as we know it. Josh has run businesses and other systems by decentralizing his own leadership, and he describes how.
A Leaderless society is possible. Have you ever been part of a swarm?

For over 3 billion years on this planet there were only single-celled organisms. Then one day they somehow learned to work together and make complex multi-celled creatures . Right now we are like those single-celled organisms. Our next evolution is finding how to work together, better… (like we wrote about here).

Agree with your thesis on leaders. A big problem was that the words Leader and Leadership were hijacked and given a corrupt definition. Culturally the words became associated with strength of personality and personality cult. The definitions became way too subjective and they were co-opted by the powerful. To define a set of qualities and call it Leadership and then say that history is full of good leaders and bad leaders just makes the term functionally worthless. For years I lobbied for a concerted effort to free the hijacked terms and redefine them within a moral framework(No such thing as a bad “leader”, you are simply a bad person) So my new definition of leadership is akin to Competence + Truth + Trust. But stop right there. If you are a janitor and you do a good job every day cleaning bathrooms you are a Leader. And there absolutely must be a moral component which is the basis for trust.
So I really like your thrust for the idea that leadership should be more of a grassroots concept than some top down construct which has become corrupt and lost all relevant meaning.
We don’t need more “powerful” leaders as historically defined. We need leaders who may lack power but are real leaders
