It is unfortunate that social scientists have mostly focused on the minutiae of this question- for example, how teams work- rather than on the big question of how necessary hierarchy is for a productive society and economy. This book intelligently reopens this important debate by introducing conceptual rigor to the question and offering the experiences of two real-world executives conducting a blunt survey of important cases. The insights Nobles and Staley share provide rich opportunities for further research. -- Dr. Joseph R. Blasi, J.
