Management should be elected by the workers.

    In Germany you will often find an employee council in companies, which gets elected by the workers.

    They don't fill in the leadership, but they have a decision in hiring and firing processes, and general things that matter to the workers. It's like "a seat on the table", which is better than nothing.

    Not sure what bastion of knowledge and responsibility you work in, but in every company I've worked for, my average co-worker has been an idiot. Letting them decide who management is would be a disaster.

    Employees have better information than investors, especially now. Most markets today are more feudal than free.

    If we voted on management, then our workplaces would become even more meritocratic than they are today. The board member's son would have to impress us first.
