Thank you for sharing your perspective. I find some contradiction in your sentences and this question comes up:
As a manager, can you have both a team full of stars _and_ maintain a hierarchy? If yes, how?
The definition of star is also a bit vague: a person with lots of knowledge and experience can stand out as a star, but in my experience a junior person with less experience having the right way of thinking can also be a star.
Hierarchy means having only a few people steering the vessel, the rest need to align with the leadership, or there is no team. What does it mean to be a star in a hierarchy with the top-down approach?
Still, even in a team full of stars they all need to align among one other, or it's not possible to achieve a common goal. Stars are opinionated because they have knowledge, but that usually comes with an ego, so they need to work around that.
