Chris,

isn't he/she who has the vision the one that attracts other people to it
and is thus bound to become the leader? All under the assumption that free
flow of people is possible ("law of two feet"), i.e. open space.

In industry and commercial companies where you encounter predefined
assignments, structures, hierarchy and responsibilities, that part may have
to be looked at from a different perspective, no?

Christoph
