"Anyway, as Drucker, Sealey and several other pundits have said, we're moving away from the old Prussian line-officer model (in which the general gives a command to the colonel, the colonel passes to the lieutenant colonel, the lieutenant colonel to the lieutenant, and so on right down to the private). Instead, we're following the 'orchestra model,' in which one leader gives direction to everyone, moving from the woodwinds to the brass as needed."
