Call it a failed Socialist experiment

To the rest, no. As Matt has already mentioned, giving employees some ownership proves to be a greater motivator. To draw an example from a real world application, I work a lot with graphic designers. It took advice from some guys smarter than me before I finally realized the best way to get the best results from them was to just give them a very loose idea of what I wanted. That way, they had some control over where their assignment went, some ownership of the project. 

If you want to get the best out of people, hire good people and let them be who you hired. If you hire people and think they're only worth the bare minimum, then you're hiring all wrong. 

I don't know many businesses that don't have different levels of skilled positions.
