The boss picture is missing a whip - all heirarchy is coercive.

The leader picture should be identical to the boss one except the leader should be saying "We're all pulling together!" while whiping.

all heirarchy is coercive.

I've been in several bands that had non-coercive hierarchies. We just each knew what we were good at and did our things, and it worked great.

That doesn't sound like a heirarchy, if you can all just do your thing.

If the manager or frontman tells everyone else what to do and you can't tell them what to do, that would be hierarchic.

frontman directs the song. that's how it works. we took turns being the frontman for different songs.

Fun! Yeah i think that's what graeber & wengrove would call "play heirarchy" - temporary, rotating or situational relations rather than the perminant domination of heirarchy.
