That's a false dichotomy. The only difference between the Milgram experiment and the Lord of the Flies scenario is that in the former the deck was stacked beforehand by putting people with no prior experience in a position of absolute power.
Other than that they are the same, and not opposites.
The opposite would be clear structure and responsibilities, with just enough power assigned to carefully selected individuals.
A good balance is what most organizations already have, no need to reinvent the wheel. Other than maybe improve the criteria for selecting and monitoring managers.
