A moto in 1987 when I left the faculty of London Business School to set up the Ashridge strategy centre with Michael Goold was "no bosses and no subordinates"

@OperatingModels how has the motto fared over the years? It must've created some interesting scenarios when dealing with hierarchy-heavy or hierarchy-first organisations? Would love to hear more.

@guspower Gus, it was a motto for Michael and me ... for our little organization ... which grew to 7 people at one point. It is also, pretty much the life of an academic. One of the core implications was that we did our own research and our own consulting - so no research assistants.
