Participatory management rhetoric conceals a reorganization that strips subordinate power.

Evidence

It was one of de Gaulle’s finest speeches, a performance of hypnotic wizardry. The impact on Frenchmen of all walks of life throughout France was nothing short of magical. Nothing new had been said, not a single concession offered; yet it was as if, after an appallingly long week of perplexity and the nightmare of civil war, or fascism, here was the catharsis, the clear call to duty, that all Frenchmen had unknowingly been waiting for. Once again de Gaulle had got his timing superbly right. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1120 (#expands, via linked claim)
