| Notes |
freedom"Freedom and democratic self-managment remain the foundation of hope, not only in nations but also inside institutions where people spend their daily lives. Choice is the basis of community if relationships are both egalitarian and collaborative and if there are participative ways for everyone to share responsibility." (p. 231)
democracy"The democracy most urgently needed to form intelligent organizations is a fully participative means of self-management." (p. 73)
teams, accommodation"Give individuals choice of what teams to join. If members are recruited, not assigned, the people who end up in a team will tend to be those attracted to its specific purpose. Bureaucracies in which managers allocate staff find it very difficult to create the flexibility to accommodate much self-selection, especially after downsizing. People end up being assigned based on availability, skill, and project priority. Giving much priority to personal desire and enthusiasm is, in a bureaucracy, the exception rather than the rule." (p. 204)
equality"Most bureaucratic organizations will need to move a long way in the direction of equality of power and compensation to bring out the intelligence and talent of every employee. Of course, most organizations cannot pay everyone the same wage, and differences in power and influence are inevitable. What organizations can do is strive to create systems that allow everyone dignity, respect as whole human beings, and a voice in the processes and decisions that affect them--giant steps away from relationships of dominance and submission and toward equality." (p. 242)
