    Worker cooperatives don’t have to have a flat structure. Smaller cooperatives might use a flat structure, but larger companies will delegate business decisions to management. The main difference is that the board of directors represent the workers instead of outside shareholders making it democratic

      So from the parent comment if “liberals would want a woman CEO, while leftists wouldn’t have a CEO” (paraphrasing) does that mean worker collectives don’t have a CEO or that the CEO is ‘good’ because the board represents the workers (and therefore isn’t leftist)?
