BO - In today’s modern societies this is the place of safety family, community and friends. In organisations this is the basis for team work and forms the basis of team sports like football, soccer and rugby, groups and gangs. For most of the Planet this is the main way of living. This is the second measurable pulse of culture and a pulse that is often left in a weak and unhealthy state. This second pathway in the mind was formed when life conditions changed and there was a need for larger groups of people to band together. This happened around 40,000 years ago according to Prof. Graves. This path had a stronger purpose and there were different rules on how to use the path. To plan the path was the chieftain’s task and the family or tribe built it. The path was wiggly and went around sacred places. It attracted rituals and ceremonies but was a safe place to be. To use the path needed the permission of the elders and leaders. The values and beliefs (memes) that are attracted to this basic assumption are leadership by the senior person, the chief, who makes all the decisions and appoints positions in the community based on kinship, sex, age and strength. This system demanded total obedience to the leader(s), a world of magic and nature. In today’s business, this is the basis of all team and community building. Today this is still a society that is led by elders, shaman or chiefs. These are the people who make decisions. Roles are decided by Kinship, age, sex, and strengths. The tribal ways are sacred and rigidly adhered to. To survive in these life conditions demands obedience to the leader(s) and is often the core-value for management of family-run companies. |
