How is it that we are self-organized and need leadership simultaneously?

It’s time we talk about hierarchies and power. When self-organization is introduced in companies some other concepts tend to get burnt at the stake.

I claim that — when implemented in a way that fits the context — power and leadership are essential ingredients of self-organization.
