Comment on Escaping the ‘busy-busy’ syndrome by Jude Pani

Thanks Tom. Food for thought. I can identify with lots in Escaping the Busy Syndrome. I do say no regularly and just stop doing some “stuff”. I would like to see in your model of an organisation a reference to the importance LACK OF EGO. Ego appears to be a major block to practices that effectively engage everyone in an organisation in ways that truly empower them to achieve agreed results.

Comment on Regaining Our Personal Power by Vikki

I certainly agree with what you have written about, infact I have agreed with similar articles in HBR to ‘NZ Employment Today’ yet it does seem a slow moving evolution. There are still so many command and control managers in place that it is difficult to acceptance and trust to create change. I’m a convert and even though am in middle management will always try to keep those cells developing…..

Super Tom. I had several thoughts when I read this. I welcome the day when command/control is dead. Understanding not only one’s personal power but also how to be ‘good to go’ as the amoeba develops is the challenge. We seem to get it all wrong when we appoint our CEOs that don’t seem to be ‘good to go’ to lead the amoeba. Am I naive to think that the picture you paint of the changing order is dependent on getting such leadership? I keep focusing on the cells developing within organisations despite the blocks and command/control.

Comment on Deviants Rule the World? by Andrew Davidson

Tom,
Your article is spot on and very timely. The rules and bureaucracy that we have to live with as a result of “we know best” politicians are frustrating ,inefficient, ineefective and leave one to ponder why bother at all. I have just returned from a sporting event wherby I represented NZ in the Triathlon World Championships.I decided to freight my bike back to avoid taking it around Europe while on vacation.Triathlon NZ provided me with a letter to say i would be doing this and that the bike was legitimately taken out of NZ for the event. On return my bike was held up in customs. They did not believe me, they wanted receipt of purchase and a letter from the shop that i purchased the bike from otherwise they would apply duty.Lots of innocent people involved .I suppose when we live in a country that is so rich and doesn’t have any real issues to focus on this type of activity keeps the bureaucrats occupied.I guess we get the Leaders we deserve.
