Who tells who what to do/ what is important?

No titles, no way to rank your worth against someone else, no way to judge your worth.

The premise is the opposite. You are given very specific roles, with very specific accountabilities. These are measurable. Your worth to the company is contingent on the roles you're performing, and whether or not you are performing up to the measurements set. And your wages are contingent upon that. Perform better, then make more money than same person with same roles that underperform, as opposed to across the board raises.

Actually, factions of the military have been practicing a form of this, which I was shocked to read.

For years, pockets of the U.S. military have been slowly taking decisions out of the hands of high-ranking commanders and entrusting them to teams of soldiers, who (armed with the concept of “commander’s intent”) are told what problems to solve—but not how to solve them. “The organization as a rigidly reductionist mechanical beast is an endangered species,” General Stanley McChrystal writes in his new book, Team of Teams. “The traditional heroic leader may not be far behind.”

I dont care what operating system a company uses. Thirteen year olds like you must come to understand that leadership isnt always democratic. As my drill sergeant in the Army said, "we are here to preserve democracy, not practice it."
