Seth Godin hits it bang on:
…smart individuals always do things better than dumb organizations. And so if we can empower the smart individuals and organizations to move things forward — especially if they can do it in a way that respects all the constituencies without kowtowing to them, but just respect them — then everything works better. Our jobs are better, our companies are more productive, the products that get made are the products that should be made, and everything just turns out for the best.
