I just found this excellent post that fits in wonderfully with our conversation on Partnership culture and how it can enable more flexible, collaborative and innovative organizations… Two points that I think are especially helpful are:
- Values predict behavior (obviously very important to the discussion of culture and organizational change)
- Organizational values function as attractors, giving rise to a kind of dynamic order in “chaotic” organizational systems. The implication is that given shared values, order can emerge in the absence of unilateral power (or control). Leadership, rather than management, becomes the essential ingredient. You must see this graphic!
