    Maybe an answer (or the question?) needs to distinguish between administrative and academic superiority then. I know of German universities where single senior professors are indeed in charge of the budget for their entire group, including administrative superiority to other professors, some of them junior professors, in their group. Academically, on the other hand, none of the junior professors answers to the other professors, and each of them supervises their own team of 10 to 15 postdoc and doctoral candidate level researchers.
