Leadership and new science - thoughts on cooperstive business organization

Self Organizing systems are more stable over time. Here is why. Participation leads to effective organizational strategy. Organizational data is rich in potential interpretation and completely dependent on observers to evoke different meanings. As each observer interacts with the data, he or she develops their own interpretation. The richness of the interpretations result from the powers of participation. It is the participation process that brings a plan to life. Participation, ownership, and subjective data brings one to the central truth that “we live in a Universe where relationships are primary.” The world of process, the process of connecting coming into existence because of relationship. Roles mean nothing without understanding the networks of relationships and the resources that are required to support the work of that person. The agents of the system get smarter and comprehension increases. In this relationship world, it is foolish to think we can define any person solely in terms of isolated tasks and accountabilities. We need to conceptualize the parts of energy flows required for the person to do their job.
