> A "do what you want" policy would not result in the tasks people want done getting done.

That sounds weird to me. If people want it done, they would get it done, wouldn't they? Can you maybe expand with an example?

You want fresh produce in your supermarket, but you don't want to be the person who drives around to various farmers to get their produce, the person who stocks the shelves, the person who plants and harvests the produce, etc.

(Well, I guess if you're american you don't have fresh produce in your supermarket, but the point stands.)

examples would be that people dont want to collect trash, work a the sewage treatment plant, or lumber mill.

I see, but I’m not sure if these wouldn’t get done in a “do what you want” policy. There’s even a chance that they get done better than how they are done today. People would put in resources to improve (automate, simplify, etc.) the tasks they don’t enjoy doing.
