Your obsession with "the ladder" and a "pyramid" is based in myths and artifacts of ego, or materialism.
The fact is that organization have leaders, blah blah blah. When people group up to perform some task (like run a business or church or whatever), a "pyramid" is formed to keep the organization... well, organized. This is just a fact of life, that when groups form, leaders emerge, etc.
Those who lust for power or whatever will necessarily seek out those leadership positions, blah blah whatever.
The leaders are generally provided some sort of economic reward so to speak such that they are compelled in numerous ways to whatever on behalf of the organization, and such that they recognize the "gratitude" of the organization for their efforts. Blah blah whatever.
The issue is though, that any person can play a part on any number of pyramids, each with its own set of circumstances.
The illusion is: None of them are real except in the minds of those involved. The pyramid is wholly dependent on the participants.
Most people seem to tend to buy the illusion as reality because the consequences of the actions of the people involved are real. They are so real to most that some of them start thinking that their notch on the ladder reflects some form of absolute superiority over those who haven't climbed as high on the ladder that matters to them. This is a simple psychological trick that people use to justify their actions - to relieve them from their conscience. Whatever they have to tell themselves to maintain their sense of identity. It could be for instance, that the economic rewards for their place in the ladder instills a sense of urgency in their psyche that demands them to act against their conscience - creating cognitave dissonance which rationalizations like "i'm better than them" can stave off so long as they remain unexplored.
In reality, there are people, being people. Each person has a dynamic set of skills and some talent their are prone to. They will generally exceed each other on a variety of tasks. I'm better at guitar, you're better at chess, blah blah that kind of thing. Whatever, it's just a bunch of individuals living out their circumstance and reacting in whatever way. The pyramid only exists in their minds, but is put there as a consequence of reality. Blah blah. Organizations blah blah as above, and circumstance blah blah. When people get together to do something of purpose, some form of heirarchy emerges as the talents/skills emerge in the perceptions of the individuals involved.
Indeed, it's perfectly natural.
