Some aspects of the h have to be sacrifice
In order to make a project more innovative. A project is more more on DECENTRALIZED if it's requires decission to be made by numerous entities and people. If there is no central control or no central system that runs the operation, it is amore decentralized project. Project required Strong learnership that is able to make decisions to ensure the project moves forward. Some project need to be politically centralised in order to ensure growth and in order to ensure the right people are contributing to the projects.
Therefore there are many instances to promote more or or offered some technically to moves forwards some of the projects and ensure the correct people belong the team.made by decentralized method before progress starts.
So you don't believe a collective can ever make any good decisions, only a great leader or selected elite could?
"Strong" leadership might seem to work when you do have this great leader. Unfortunately people die (or go crazy, whatever), and more often than not you end with idiots that will promptly lead you into ruin. And since you already gave him/her all the power, there is nothing else you can do. Very often they use this power to entrench themselves and their successors.
The "great leader" does not suffer the necessities of the people. It lives in the palace, with all the amenities he could possibly need. Inevitably they live in the fantasy that everything is great and anyone saying otherwise is an enemy. The people live in the darkest hour, just like my country right now: no way out.
