“We are at that very point in time when a 400-year-old age is dying and another is struggling to be born - a shifting of culture, science, society, and institutions enormously greater than the world has ever experienced. Ahead, the possibility of the regeneration of individuality, liberty, community, and ethics such as the world has never known, and a harmony with nature, with one another, and with the divine intelligence such as the world has never dreamed.” KnowsWorldYearsAgeCultureNatureBornCommunityLibertyStruggleGreaterSocietyDyingPossibilityDivineEvolutionEthicsHarmonyInstitutionsIndividualityOld AgeShiftingNonconformityRegenerationEnlightened Society Author:Dee Hock
“To put it another way, I believe that purpose and principle, clearly understood and articulated, and commonly shared, are the genetic code of any healthy organization. To the degree that you hold purpose and principles in common among you, you can dispense with command and control. People will know how to behave in accordance with them, and they'll do it in thousands of unimaginable, creative ways. The organization will become a vital, living set of beliefs.” PeopleKnowsWayBelievePurposeBeliefI BelieveCommonBusinessPrinciplesKnow HowCreativeHealthyDegreesUnderstoodOrganizationCommandCodeBehaveAnother WayUnimaginableCommand And Control Author:Dee Hock

“Control is not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50% of your time leading yourself-your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20% leading those with authority over you and 15% leading your peers. If you don't understand that you work for your mislabeled 'subordinates,' then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny.” IfsKnowsPurposeMotivationPrinciplesDisciplineAuthorityEthicsManagementTyrannyOver YouPeersSelf DisciplineSubordinates Author:Dee Hock
