Why it's so critical that we level the top-down organization

Overview
The mindless slaughter at Columbine High School and other recent shootings have understandably resulted in widespread security mania. However, such reflexive action only addresses the symptoms rather than the fundamental problem itself. It is a reaction largely attributable to the hierarchical leadership mind-set that has evolved in the past 15,000 years with the advent of larger social institutions. Control of people's behavior is the ultimate goal of such organizations. There is now ample evidence that our changing social structures have long been on a collision course with our unchanging human nature. We need to look back, therefore to truly comprehend who we are and what types of social contexts are most suitable for human existence - and which are less likely to produce outbursts of so-called senseless violence. And so today, business' first and most critical step toward gaining voluntary collaboration is to accommodate the vital role of human nature in organizational life.
