Line 25:
Regardless of the degree of control or results achieved, and regardless of how the hierarchy is justified and rationalized, certain aspects of a command hierarchy tend to be similar:
* rank – especially [[military rank]] – "who outranks whom" in the [[power structure]]
* unity of command – each member of the hierarchy has one and only one superior, precluding possibility of contradictory orders
* strict [[accountability]] – those who issue orders are responsible for the consequences, not those who carry them out
* strict [[feedback]] rules – complaints go up the hierarchy to those with power to deal with them, not down to those who do not have that power
