No, the most effective way to accomplish a task is to force someone else do it for you under the threat of violence. Equal collaboration requires more efforts and especially empathy because people's individual wants and needs are involved.

For example, we didn't abolish slavery because it wasn't effective, we did it because it was morally and ethically wrong. Why would an emotion-lacking politician abolish slavery given its net benefits?

Cold calculation will not bring about a collaborative community because it is overall less effective than a strict top-down hierarchical structure. You need a heart somewhere.
