I find in creative industries (or just creative discussions) you need hierarchy, someone to stir the conversation but you can't have a military type of hierarchy where people execute orders. On the other hand, anyone can suggest ideas. So it's not about hierachy Vs flat it's about hierachy (structure) in the process and flat (all can contribute equally) when it comes to ideas

Fascinating stuff.

Random thoughts: "Collective attention": this brought to mind how much the Japanese value ostentative attention. In fact, attention is considered one of the prime virtues, and the basis of politeness.

And yet... in so many Japanese workplaces, you won't hear many female voices upping the discourse level, because there're still not many around.
