The problem is that what you call "work levels" arises from complex and highly individual aspects of each managers psychology. In my view it's not so much about "enabling organizations" as management insight and behavior. Having worked for one of the UK's largest corporations for 15 years (and now thank god escaped!) matching "individuals with roles" and "people with leaders" is actually impractical in most real life situations.

Every year my appreciation for that knowledge as one of, if the most important tool in the manager's tool box, is reinforced. Try it -- you'll see!
