Read the given passage and answer the following question.

Leaders in powerful positions once thought workers should be told what to do and how to do it. They believed strict control was needed for the organization to function efficiently and effectively fixed organizational hierarchies, structured jobs and work processes and detailed procedures, let everyone know that those at the top had power and those at the bottom had none.

Today, the old views of the distribution of power are no longer valid. An emphasis on control serves to squelch motivation, innovation and morale, rather than produce desired results. Today’s leaders share power rather than hoard it. They find ways to increase an organization’s brain power by getting everyone involved and committed.
