Insights from 1/13/07

1. The first insight I had was when we learned about adhocracy. Adhocracy involves people and lots of change. A good organization will have adhocracy and will always be changing things. With adhocracy, people from all different parts of the organization will be able to move to different parts of that organization and share the information they already know with that different part of the organization. That way everbody is sharing what they know with everybody else in the orgnization and communication becomes better.
This idea of adhocracy is also practiced in our church. Someone will be called to a certain calling and they will stay in that calling for a year or so and then they will be taken out and given a different calling. Someone will have already had that calling and can help the new person going into it.

2. I like the phrase Bro. Adams said, "We're only as good as our weakest link." I think this is really important in an organization especially when it comes to communication. If we are not communicating well within an organization, then are weakest link is going to be pretty weak and that is how weak the whole organization will be.

3. The third insight I had was when we talked about scarcity. Sometimes people are so worried about themselves and getting their "piece of the pie", that they get that and that's all they get. If they would work together with other people instead of being so concernced just for your own wellfare all the time, then you would actually end up getting a bigger piece of the pie then if you had just gone for your own. You would learn from each other and each take something more from each other.
