So you’ve finished Superintendent. Even the non-fiction “answers are in the back of the book” section. Some questions are asked, about people and organizations, our nation, other nations, nations in general, how being an institution is very much and very little like being an individual, and of course a lot of things that happened in Europe and Africa in the 1930’s. And you have opinions. The book asks for them. I want them! We all do. So please click the ‘Conversation’ link on the front page and weigh in. We’ve been waiting for you.
In particular for this round: Organizations which are totally opposed in their aims will think more like each other than they will like any individual. For example, the army and a well-organized group of anti-war protesters will operate far more like each other than either will operate like the average person on the street. Have you worked for more than one large organization in your life? How true is this? What are your stories? Looking at what is alike between all organizations, does this present a person with a handle by which to grasp and change ANY organization? Is knowledge power in this way?
Tell us how it is.
