Most of those coops are professionally managed, if they're of any size.

Just like a democracy dies once the voters figure out they can vote themselves money from the public till, a coop dies when the workers realize they can decide they don't have to work.

I feel like this can be mitigated with the right by-laws and whatever, and also screening very heavily for culture fit during the hiring process.

The flattest companies (meaning, the ones where individuals had the most autonomy, and were actually interested in business ideas that came from the bottom up) cared more about culture fit and the ability to learn things quickly.
