"leaders arise naturally, and they don't always match the org chart. Wise managers let those people shine"

Two points I see here.

1. managers are placed above the real leaders artificially 2. leaders arise without any formal process

The first point is what systems like Holocracy want to eliminate. The second point is what Holocracy leads to, some people following leaders and nobody really knows who that leader is.

My idea was to decouple the orga/bureaucracy stuff from management and create a new team assistant role, so things can go on orderly and there is someone to talk to.

The second part was creating some kind of process that helps to make decisions, so no "hidden leader" can wreak havok in the background.

RE: hidden leader wreaking havoc ...

Humans tend to fear competence more than incompetence. It’s the same cognitive bias as loss aversion.
