Harold, I thought you had a great post. Thanks for a stimulating discussion of the future of work and future of management. I have made an attempt at a reply here: http://thoughtmanagement.wordpress.com/2012/02/26/is-the-future-of-work-an-aristocratic-democracy-leo-strauss-on-managment/
I think that the future of work is more akin to what Strauss was talking about in the true of idea of democracy as a democracy of an aristocracy. Talent will be attracted to organisations that can coordinate talents. In that regard, the organisation will not disappear, but it will be less of an agent than an support and coordinating structure. It will be hollowed out in a sense because it will be constantly shifting with different directors (like an orchestra) brought in to coordinate different talents for different projects.
This is not to say that everyone will be a consultant, but rather the old style command and control system, as you rightly point out, is ending. However, I do not agree that this is simply a communications issue. I think that corporate culture is more than a communications issues and that is why I have used Leo Strauss to look at how organisations, like regimes, are founded (thus the centrality of Machiavelli to my paper) to suggest that we are on the dawn of a new era. It will be democratic, but democratic of a certain type.

I would be interested in your views.
