"Places themselves are biased toward hierarchy or field."

"Hierarchy (external field)

- Status allocated by others

- Rewards flow downward

- Metrics are social

- Time horizon is short-to-medium

- Work optimized for visibility

Field (intrinsic field)

- Status emerges from competence

- Rewards flow from reality

- Metrics are internal or objective

- Time horizon is long

- Work optimized for truth or craft"

Do you require hierarchy or field?

I need field. I tried (for a long time) hierarchy, and it didn't work for me.
