Word: Accountability and Structure advanced fundamentals.

For without we have no real progress toward community.

Interdependence does not necessarily mean that the collaborators have different roles, usually, however it does. When there are two different roles in an organization, two Important Factors immediately come into play; ACCOUNTABILITY AND STRUCTURE.

You should be able to depend upon most tasks at hand in all affairs not only done but done well.

One plays role appointed well because one considers themselves responsible for doing so.

In other words, we hold ourselves and each other accountable.

On the Positive side, it implies that the Accountable Person is Trusted.

On the Negative side, accountability implies that someone is subject to being judged.

If partner consistently, significantly, fails their Role viewed no longer accountable, the Integral Partner losses Trust in that role, steps in and takes it over.

Such a Takeover would be natural and simple due to temporary unforeseen condition(s), but when continual occurs it now becomes natural to escalate major organizational restructuring.

So, different roles and Accountabilities imply Structure.

Within a small (but not necessarily at al simple) organization roles and structure may be relatively informal. But the larger and more complex conditions become, the more it is Essential that the appointed Accountability Structure be formalized. Written Job Descriptions (or Responsibility Profile) are Now required, and enter the realm of Formal Organization.

Virtually every Business School has a Mandatory Course entitled something like “ORGANIZATIONAL THEORY.” And a standard and enormously thick text book with the same Title will lay out the Full Range of possible Organizational Structures for the Business Executive to choose from. While this range can be Vast and Complicated, the subject is actually almost OUTRAGEOUSLY SIMPLE.

It has but one underlying Principle, which is “CONTINGENCY THEORY.” Contingency theory (which, like Systems Theory, IS NOT A THEORY BUT A FACT) simply states that there is no one best type of organization. The best structure for a particular organization or ENDEAVOR is contingent upon the purpose of the collective, collaborative endeavor, as well as other factors.

AMOUNG THESE OTHER FACTORS IS THE NATURE OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED.

A Think Tank Organization is not going to DRAW THE SAME KIND OF PEOPLE as a more traditional company. Departments, stereotypically produce products of organization personality environments as correct model(s). GOODNESS CANNOT BE STEREOTYPED.

Whenever there is Accountability Structured into a System, be it as small as an individual or as huge as a Corporation, there is also an AUTHORITY STRUCTURE.

This does not mean that Authority can’t be shared, important situational major decisions should be made conjointly within our own domains, “THE AUTHORITY OF KNOWLEDGE” CAN FULFILL ITS ROLE WITHOUT ANY DAY-TO- DAY OVERSIGHT PRECISELY BECAUSE HAS SUCH AUTHORITY KNOWING TRICKS OF TRADE.

Any accountability partner worth their weight

is not Hierarchical and neither is the overall boss.

LARGER SYSTEMS, SUCH AS BUSINESS, HAVE CHAIN(S) OF COMMAND IN ACCOUNTABILITY, WHAT THAT CHAIN OF COMMAND WILL LOOK LIKE VARIES CONTINGENT UPON THE NATURE OF THEIR BUSINESS, BUT SOMEWHERE WIHIN THE “BUCK” HAS TO STOP.

It is quite natural once one has experienced continual unpleasant experiences with Hierarchical Authority System to Distrust Structure and Guard Against dysfunctional Tendencies, but structure by nature when properly implemented and applied is by no means all bad, most of it can be quite beneficial toward the Good. Structure holding grievousness is the ship that reflects its captains lacks of consensus within.

Morale begins to go sour and change becomes the imperceptible emporia “The Honeymoon is over”.

Work ethics progressively within escalate toward the worse ultimately ending LEFT UNDONE.

Let us now isolate some suggestive command problems with this ship.

First off captains responsibility is to objectively do something about this perhaps to meet with general staff and “Get to the Ethical Bottom of Problem” which many times will be based within “I feel I don’t know where I stand” and due to poor command inarticulate communications further handicaps promoting further random conflicts. The crux is “Vagueness” and the voiced complaint and rightfully so would be “It’s like we are forever out at Sea.”

Why is it taking this captain so long to resolve ship pride in image?

Simple, own self esteem getting in the way of ship, did not want to believe that there was anything wrong with their leadership skills to effectively command and ship was anything other than perfect, interesting. Conceit in personal needs would be logical suggestive fuel here accompanied by Simplistic style of Supervision and need of Constant gratitude and role in organization to be popular.

It never occurred to this Captain that there was anything other than One Best Way to run organization.

Scenario further suggests Captain neither never heard of nor is Practitioner of “Contingency Theory” allowing others to suffer needlessly because of lack of structure which can be flexible.

Under the light of the Examen, we now learn the teaching root in story which indeed solely rests within Captains responsibility being; how to professionally “OPERATE IN ETHICAL COMMUNITY.”

Ethical authority leadership shares as they MAXIMIZE communication.

The ones who do not effectively communicate are many times of hierarchical authority structure that cannot switch toward Community mode whenever GROUP DECISION MAKING IS REQUIRED.

One characteristic of Individual Mental Health is sometimes called “FLEXIBLE RESPONSE SYSTEMS.”

Consistency is the compass that measures overall characteristic of ORGANIZATIONAL HEALTH.

An organization that has TWO MODES of operating at its command and can USE ONE OR THE OTHER contingent is OBVIOUSLY going to be HEALTHIER than an organization THAT CAN FUNCTION ONLY IN A SINGLE WAY.

THANK YOU.
