We do that today through regulation. There are reasons we collectively want some level of control over how companies are run.
Regulations are different from a Washington bureaucrat far removed from your company having to approve your new fiscal year roadmap or plans to pivot the company

Why would that be significantly different than anyone else with a voting share? It's not like the government is incapable of hiring the kinds of people who sit on boards of directors.
A common refrain in the private sector, but having worked in both I can assure you that any sufficiently large organization is at least as inefficient as a government.
