Summary
- Currently I'm a management consultant but my first career was in the not for profit sector. I spent 20 years with the Canadian Red Cross Society doing all manner of jobs. It does show you some of the perils of working in the Not for Profit sector.
- When you talk to people about levels of work, it's just so natural and nonthreatening. What about when you move to levels of capability? Do you find the same openness? Sometimes we need to make the things at least attractive to people.
- The challenges have had more to do with role relationships and accountability discussions than they have explicitly with levels. Unless you actually make explicit that there is a theory underpinning these relationships, it's very hard to explain to people why the logic should be apparent.
- Alan Watts: A hierarchy only works if it is a common belief system and value system. He explains why there are levels of organization and explains how they work. Watts: What you're trying to do is make all energy flows easily.
- The idea of a quintave is not a surprising concept. If we think about GE and of course here there is a real debate between the European and the BIOS model. There's a difference in perception of what happens at senior levels. Culture is largely, primarily how we don't do things around here.
- Both models will be up on the website and anything you want to tell me about them or ask about it or improve critique, I would be really delighted. What I'm hoping, and this is my fantasy hope, is that I've actually found the core engine from which we can now elaborate any levels model.
