&gt; If I ran a company, managers would be butlers. Their compensation would be directly tied to the level of happiness of the creators they are serving.<p>Let&#x27;s take the simplest case of this.<p>You&#x27;re a one man business, developing software perhaps. You&#x27;re doing well, you&#x27;re successful and you take on someone to help you out.<p>Are you now their butler? Does that person set your salary?<p>If not, at what size of organisation does manager-as-butler kick in?
