resolving and decision-making
• No functions but roles• Transparancy

Wholeness
• In many organizations people are ‘surviving’, but...
• Take your professional masks off
• Show your whole self with all your human traits
• The workplace respects the human scale
• Wholeness and diversity: masculine and feminine, reason and intuition

Evolutionairy purpose
• The organization is not a holding or a collection of people, but...
• The organization has its own evolutionary purpose
• Listen to what it wants to become
• Follow the natural development

Which basic assumptions do we have?• Workers are lazy. If they are not
watched, they will not work diligently.• Workers work primarily for money.• Workers are not capable of making good
decisions about important matters that affect the economic performance of the company. Bosses are good at making these decisions.
• Workers put their own interest ahead of what is best for the organization. They are selfish.
• Workers need care and protection, just as children need the care of their parents.
• Workers need to be told what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. Bosses need to hold them accountable.
• Managers are out there to control workers.
• Managers are motivated by promotion and bonuses.
• Managers don’t know what’s happening in the organisation.
• Managers work primarily for money.• Managers are egoistic and selfish.• Managers only look at the short
term.• Managers need to have all
information in order to make good decisions.

“There are not problems waiting to be solved but potential waiting to be unfolded” *
“Letting go the illusion of control”
“There is no path to get there”
“It will be painful”“Who am I serving right now?”
“Work with people who are ready for it”
