Bottom Up Business

So this is nothing new but I have been thinking about a frame of thought providing justification for bottom up institutions. The idea originally came from the fact that I wanted to do design management and realised that by doing the associated tasks I was not actually doing creative design but simply helping the designers I managed do more creative design. Of course this may happen though creative insight on behalf of the manager but the real point is that a manager's job is really just to help improve the potential of the designer. I think this generalises to other fields and to most systems in which there is hierarchy. 


Ok so that was probably not at all new, but I do think it is interesting that the higher paid workers really just help the lower paid workers perform in an effective manner.  I think this probably applies all the way up the hierarchy. I think if people thought about it in this way it might make some business stuff run a little more smoothly. And I think it would be really effective if governments acted in this fashion more.
