In the Athenian experiment with democracy, office bearers were selected by lot (randomly). This gave uncertain results so functions were run usually by groups of ten, in the hope that the law of averages would allow a few competents within any group of 10.
The exception was the 10 generals - no one wanted to be led into war by whoever was drawn out of the hat, so each of the ten tribes nominated a general. Their distrust of the office bearers was borne out when the assembly of the people would add a rider to an important decision 'the generals will see to it', showing the general distrust of the normal office bearers.
