The boss picture is missing a whip - all heirarchy is coercive.
The leader picture should be identical to the boss one except the leader should be saying "We're all pulling together!" while whiping.
I've been in several bands that had non-coercive hierarchies. We just each knew what we were good at and did our things, and it worked great.
That doesn't sound like a heirarchy, if you can all just do your thing.
If the manager or frontman tells everyone else what to do and you can't decide for yourself or tell them what to do, that would be hierarchic.
frontman directs the song. that's how it works. we took turns being the frontman for different songs.
Fun! Yeah i think that's what graeber & wengrove would call "play heirarchy" - temporary, rotating or situational relations rather than the perminant domination of heirarchy.
yup. there's a few hand signs everyone knows so we all know whether to play the intro, bridge, solo, verse, chorus, ending, etc. if it's your song, you lead it and you need to be responsive to the crowd. monty python caused us to call ourselves an anarcho-syndicalist commune but we just enjoyed the time we had together.
