At Morning Star, there are no managers. For that matter, there are no rigid titles, and virtually no hierarchy. Paul Green, a veteran of Morning Star who leads its training and development efforts, explained to me the philosophy behind such a radical business model: “All organizations are based upon fundamental assumptions about human beings, whether they know it or not. At Morning Star, we believe the individual is the single most important entity, and we do everything we can to promote the power of the individual.”
