Teamwork is more capable than economic coordination or central decision making.
Complex systems scientist Yaneer Bar-Yam is convinced that all forms of governance are failing their citizens — dictatorships and communism failed in the last part of the 20th century, and in this century democracies are not meeting citizen expectations. No matter which leaders are chosen, the systems themselves are failing. He suggests that we need a metamorphosis of social organization in which leadership no longer serves the role it has over millennia. He predicts that a different type of existence will emerge, one that will enable us to live in a complex world. At the heart of this new model is teams, teams that range from a few individuals to many, in one place or spanning the globe.
