There are thirteen managers were I work. There are over a hundred in our district. Some of them are well-liked, but have terrible stats. Some of them are vice versa. I work customer service and my stats there are the highest in my establishment and third for my district, but my production lacks. Thus, I have to get a good PM, otherwise I'm no better than a manager that has bad stats because they try to be part of the crew and offer no leadership. What I mean is that every single style is going to have weaknesses. There are only a handful out of a hundred that can do it all on their own and that's due to being there forever. But, if there is stratification and leadership, stats are better accross the board. 

Management is nothing more than applied elitism via meritocracy. If there was no crew, there would be no store. If there were no crew trainers, thered be no crew. If there was no management, there's be no crew trainer s. Structure exists for a reason. There isn't a positive synonymn for Elitism, but facts are, there are elites. Let yjem be teachers and leaders, not opressive tyrants.
