Pyramidal model
-
chain of command
-
top to bottom=command
-
bottom to top=obey+report/evaluate
-
experience lost in translation of the command to lower echelons
-
promotion=loss of experienced do-ers
-
who controls the controllers etc ad infinitum
-
energy wasted in ambition
-
carrot/stick motivation=sub-human=demeaning+loss of participation
-
grassroots model
-
everybody=equal all the time in all domains ?
-
Talents/inclinations/special interests get lost
-
not shared experience=lost=start anew every day ?
-
Horizontal point of view=lacking oversight/foresight/hindsight
-
point of view=personal¬ often on same level
-
lowest common denominator rules=loss of quality
-
demo-cracy=rule of the mob
-
situational authority model
-
only possible if voluntary
-
repetition breeds experienced authority
-
shared&evaluated in group=information treasured
-
temporary authority=quality guaranteed=if not:kill bill
-
possibility for quality management if put into a database
-
information available for replacement do-ers in case of illness etc
-
communication=?
-
From 1 to many
-
from 1 to some to many
-
reporting to the in-between=upwards to the top
-
strengthening the in-between=creation of situational authority for in-between&for many
-
clarity possible because of familiar convivial relationship
-
Feedback
-
transparence=basic
-
automatic feedback creates dbase creates working model
-
victim-attitude through poor-me ego kills reliability of feedback
-
dominator attitude through elitist point of view falsifies feedback
-
rebel attitude through opposition stops feedbacks
-
command
-
from shared vision
-
verification of perception needed
-
verification of results needed
-
based on the level of experience of the person giving the order
-
design=perceive–>design—>try—>check—>redesign—>retry—>check etc
-
possibility to install quality management through dbase
-
group attitude
-
if voluntary=creation of network/web
-
spontaneity only in absence of carrot/stick threats
-
the weakest link of the chain breaks the line of command
-
herd attitude=playing stupid leading to sabotage openly or hidden/conscious or unconscious
-
tyrant attitude=perfectionism as a mental illness
-
spy attitude=inviting cheating
-
gossiping attitude=destruction of social group dynamics
-
beware of fear of failure in young people from too long authoritarian “schooling” directed to parroting instead of understanding
-
errors repeated endlessly
-
check for weak link
-
remove the ever-last-laggard from the group
-
check social dynamics inside the group
-
check the feeling of “belonging” to the project&cure it if necessary
-
check for structural errors
-
check for ego based communication bottle neck
