To quote a book we had to read at school, Animal Farm by George Orwell:
”All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others”.
If elevated to the board would a worker be paid as a director or as a worker? If paid as a director, do they cease to be a worker?
Or will there be a rolling rota with every worker taking it in turn to be on the board without the the chance to really get into the role?
Should management actually be left to trained and experienced managers rather than management posts being filled with people who educated and skilled workers, but lack any specific training or experience in management?
I went to an IET Local Group training evening some years ago and had just this discussion with the trainer, who said management should be left to career managers, dare I say it, Professional Managers.
