RAMPS - Ways to Affect Purpose | #18

"I try to seek both multiplicity and diversity in the purposes we offer to the individuals around us. Both of those words matter. We want many available purposes. And we want them to be different from each other. The most common scenario one sees in an organization is the selection of one big overriding purpose, and underneath it a host of instrumental purposes, likely each of them with further sub-instrumental purposes attached, forming a nested hierarchy. The idea is that we're *all* part of one thing, that one thing is really Important[tm], it can be decomposed hierarchically into many things, and then the lucky motivate-ee's can plug themselves in until all the purpose-slots are covered."
