Will decentralized organizations mean less reliance on leaders?

A promise of blockchain is decentralization. This could include organizations. What would this mean for organizations and leadership?

Take the example of Facebook: many people believe Mark Zuckerberg has a scary amount of control over our personal data and content we consume.

One way to address this is government regulation. Another is consumers picking services led by leaders they prefer. Another is a decentralized communication/social network not owned by any individual or corporation.

Decisions for a decentralized social network could be made by the community of developers and/or users. No more Zuckerberg in charge. No more monopoly profits to a corporation. Huge surplus back to consumers, if it works.

This decentralization could spread across the economy and society. Banks are an obvious target through cryptocurrency. Could government decentralize?

Are we truly free when we still rely on the benevolence of leaders? There’s a lot to like about the idea of more decentralized organizations.

On the other hand, there are surely issues with leaderless organizations. For example, how would they innovate?

Any recommendations for further reading on this? Would love to explore.
