&lt;p&gt;Usually one of two entirely predictable things happens as a result—and generally both. One is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm&quot;&gt;tyranny of structurelessness&lt;/a&gt; in which there are leaders who claim not to be leaders and therefore can’t be held accountable. Another is that nobody takes serious responsibility for anything, because there is no incentive or recognition for doing so; as soon as the most par-for-the-course challenge arises, everyone throws up their hands and walks away.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don’t reinvent too many wheels at once.&lt;/strong&gt; I am drawn, like many cooperators today, to the ideal of a world in which we are all equally leaders of our own lives, interacting through ever more radically direct forms of democracy. I still row in that direction through my research and activism. But when I’m advising co-op founders struggling for a foothold in an economy slanted steeply against them, I find myself more and more leaning toward conservatism—toward the examples of remarkable, accountable, not-necessarily-radical leaders of cooperatives past.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For our co-ops to survive and transform communities, we don’t need to reinvent every single wheel of organizational life at once. It’s powerful enough if you can flip a few critical levers—like who owns a company and how its most high-level policies are decided. When you do that, some of those old, widespread habits of old-fashioned organizational life can take on new meaning. Leadership, for instance. When people exhibit vision, talent, and tenacity for building the next generation of democratic enterprise, we should support them with all we have, rather than pretend we can do without them.&lt;/p&gt;</content><author><name>Nathan Schneider</name></author><category term="governance" /><category term="internet-of-ownership" /><summary type="html">I frequently encounter a notion, among those drawn to cooperatives, that a cooperative should be an amorphous, faceless collective in which old-world skills and norms of leadership can be discarded.
