People speak as easily to the CEO as they do to the lowest-ranking employee. (Shortform note: Another feature of egalitarian cultures that Meyer doesn\u2019t mention is that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rw-3.com\/blog\/the-hierarchy-dimension-key-to-productivity\"> its members are more likely to act on their own and ask for forgiveness instead of permission<\/a>.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In meetings, everybody\u2019s ideas have equal value. The boss\u2019s rank doesn\u2019t protect his\/her suggestions from criticism. Problems are pushed down to the people who know them best. (Shortform note: International management consultancy Sinickas adds that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sinicom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Intercultural-comms-guide.pdf\">meeting participants speak informally<\/a> and from the heart. In contrast, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/hierarchical-culture\/\">hierarchical cultures<\/a> prefer scripts in meetings and presentations.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boss uses external cues to indicate that he\/she is \u2018one of the guys,\u2019 such as by dressing casually or forgoing an office. (Shortform note: These external cues start early in some egalitarian cultures. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expatica.com\/education\/children-education\/how-do-children-address-their-teachers-across-the-globe-472217\/\">Netherlands<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2017\/07\/being-the-boss-in-brussels-boston-and-beijing\">Sweden<\/a>, students call teachers by their first names.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people claim they prefer to be led and to lead in an egalitarian style. But in practice, leaders who aren\u2019t used to egalitarian followers find them disrespectful. And employees often view egalitarian managers as weak and unable to provide direction. (Shortform note: One Stanford study suggests that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsb.stanford.edu\/insights\/building-organizations-work\">people prefer hierarchical leadership styles because the familiarity of hierarchical relationships makes them easier to understand<\/a>. Whereas egalitarian relationships can be confusing to navigate, in a hierarchy, everyone\u2019s roles and level of authority are clear.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Egalitarian Cultures Develop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Meyer hypothesizes that two major factors influenced how today\u2019s egalitarian cultures developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first factor is historical. The most egalitarian cultures in the world are concentrated in Northern Europe, which was historically dominated by the Vikings. The Vikings were very modern in their ways: Everybody got a say in major decisions, and Iceland, which they founded, is one of the world\u2019s first democracies.<strong> Meyer argues that the ideals behind the Vikings\u2019 political system remain evident in the egalitarian leadership styles of the cultures they once ruled.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: The Vikings are popularly thought to have had more gender equality than their contemporaries. Does modern-day workplace egalitarianism also equate to gender egalitarianism? Sometimes, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/legal-barriers\/country-rankings\/\">Women&#8217;s Workplace Equality Index<\/a>, but it\u2019s not a perfect match. For example, Denmark and the Netherlands are both high-egalitarian cultures with high women\u2019s workplace equality. However, Israel is high-egalitarian but lower in women\u2019s workplace equality. Conversely, Japan and Nigeria are both hierarchical with low workplace equality, but hierarchical South Korea has very high workplace equality.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second factor is religion. Egalitarian cultures tend to be more Protestant. <strong>Meyer notes that Protestant countries broke away from the strict structure of the Roman Catholic Church, allowing them to develop non-hierarchical systems. F<\/strong>urthermore, Meyer states, Protestants value the individual\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/personal-relationship-with-god\/\">relationship with God<\/a>, and argues that these ideals are evident in the leadership styles of the cultures they dominate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/identities\/2017\/11\/2\/16583422\/the-protestant-reformation-explained-500-years-martin-luther-christianity-95-theses\">key features of Protestantism also elevate the role of the individual<\/a>, which further supports Meyer\u2019s argument. Protestants believe that the Bible and Scripture are the highest religious authorities, while Catholics also follow the Church\u2019s teachings. Furthermore, Protestants believe that people are saved through faith only. Catholics find salvation in practices that require a hierarchical relationship, such as confessing their sins to a priest.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is an egalitarian culture?
