Professional Change Management Consultants use a variety of methods and tools to help organizations shift from older organizational structures and work cultures to newer, most productive ones.
Interesting article. Though I agree that artists and creative thinkers are capable of a great deal, the 'Hollywood model' should not be regarded as 'free market.' Perhaps early on, but following the (now declassified) Psychological Strategy Board's 1953 'Doctrinal Program' (PSB D-33/2), Hollywood received funding based on the production of 'product' in line with certain sanctioned views (a little like Larry Fink's model for well-behaved companies that will be rewarded for their compliance with ESG requirements). The CIA influenced many projects covertly until 2010-2012, when the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act resulted in open 'consultation' of films by this agency. The original 1948 Smith-Mundt Act, which was designed to prevent the propagandizing of the American public became entire meaningless at this point (many would argue), although the idea of Hollywood as a simple business model went out the window many years earlier (in 1953). . . Having said that, I still believe 'independent' artists will find creative ways to move us beyond the impasse we now confront (for which technocrats are eager to offer 'solutions,' if we don't come up with something better ourselves).
On a related topic, with regards to the Durham federal by-election on Monday. The solid win by the main Conservative Party candidate indicates to me the rising tide against the Liberals and NDP policies. Having said that I am of the opinion that as PP reforms government and reduces the number of employees your Libertarian views will again be more acceptable and mainstream.
Thank you for your insightful article. I agree that hierarchical authority prevails because the majority of people understand this as so called leadership. Unfortunately, it seems to be the reason some freedom groups are falling apart especially the ones that register as a society or non-profits set up as top down structures. I love your Hollywood model that taps into creativity. As an artist/former RN l have always used art as a self care process to express the inexpressible. In order to get into the creative space for the Hollywood model to work self care might be worth considering in light of the trauma caused over the past 4 years. Thank you for your insightful post regarding a new kind of leadership.

Gene, as stated, an interesting article.
