By often emphasizing that true knowledge is found at the bottom of the organisation and by repeatedly saying how much you can learn from them, you achieve the status of bottom-up manager (they, The People At The Bottom, seem to like that a lot). It also helps keeping The People At The Bottom (the quantitative majority) precisely on the place where they belong instead of revolting against the likes of you (the quantitative minority).
