You don't. Power Law distributions will create situations where-in the Ricks are doing 90% for the real work when they're not deliberately surrounded by other/better Ricks. This is what made Xerox PARC the most productive computer company of all time; great thinkers playing together with little interference.

You can't maintain a SaaS application this way though. The issue isn't management or Ricks; it's the lousy business infrastructure that's privatized science and technology in the United States and kept the Ricks from doing their natural work so that 90 untalented people can have jobs in the software industry.

The oxymorony is that the growth that we create from letting the normie douchebags have their salaries and cargo shorts actually is a net win for society from a macroscopic perspective. It's a societal con but it's a con that keeps families fed; and there can't be, "Ricks" without, "stable societies." Also worth considering!
