With organisations such as Aragon beginning to experiment with Futarchy I thought it would be nice to revisit this excellent blog post about it by Vitalik Buterin.
Great read about "What the Decentralized Web Can Learn from Wikipedia".

When a policy change is proposed, any objections are discussed, and if needed the proposal is

"Creating anything new in the world, especially something that runs against the grain, requires courageous and visionary individuals, tied to resourceful communities"
I strongly believe in strong leadership and mentorship even in flat and "decentralized" organizations. I think we could use some more examples where organizations are representative yet lead very well.
"The dxDAO is an ambitious experiment, and one of the largest blockchain-based coordination endeavors to date since “The DAO.” The idea for the dxDAO initially arose from Gnosis’ design and development of a permissionless trading protocol, the DutchX, which has proved its viability as critical infrastructure providing a decentralized, on-chain
