DANGER CONDITION DATA
WHY ORGANIZATIONS STAY SMALL
The size of an organization depends upon this law:
A LARGE ORGANIZATION IS COMPOSED OF GROUPS. A SMALL ORGANIZATION IS
COMPOSED OF INDIVIDUALS.
If you really understand this principle and use it properly you will be
able to have a large organization.
There are other factors such as (1) the desirability and quality of
one's commodity, (2) the able promotion of it, (3) the ability of the heads
of groups in the organization to catch dropped balls and (4) the close
following and comprehension of the policies of the organization and its
groups.
But the gross monitoring law is as above. When one does not know this
and apply it one has a small, semi-bankrupt organization that overworks
everyone and underpays.
This rule applies to a planet or a nation and is most readily seen in
these gross terms. A planet with nations will be far more prosperous than a
planet with one central government governing the individuals of a planet.
Socialism fails (and it always fails) because of two factors:
(a) The government seeks to run the individual, and
(b) Socialism unmocks companies.
At this writing the prosperity difference (and there is one, Russia
currently starving) between the democracy of the US and England and the
Super Socialism of Russia is that the "West" still has companies and the
"East" (Russia and China) have abolished them. Russia seeks to run the
individual. It has collective farms, etc., but they won't leave a manager
alone-to manage-they govern his workers.
To the degree that England and the US tax the individual and seek to
govern him they will dwindle in size.
England at this writing is undergoing one unmock of the whole empire
solely because it is by-passing the manager and the governor and directly
seeking to govern individuals through income tax, "benefits", etc.
The US is about to come to pieces. Like all big countries on the way out
it never looks so good as when it is already about to fall apart. The US is
by-passing the states and US companies and is therefore putting the
governors, managers and the states and companies in Danger Condition. This,
unrepaired, will unmock states and companies and collapse the sub-group on
which the big group called the US depends for an organization is composed
of groups. Non-Existence is the Condition just below Danger. A Danger
Condition carried on too long drops down scale to non-existence. A large
group made up of non-existences is of course non-existent itself. Thus by-
pass by the heads of a big organization of the heads of its internal small
organizations works toward non-existence. It is really quite simple. To
make an organization get smaller all one has to do is by-pass the sub-
groups and run the individuals only and the org will collapse or struggle
along at near-collapse NO MATTER HOW BRIGHT ITS MANAGER MAY BE OR HOW HARD
HE OR SHE WORKS OR HOW BRIGHT THE STAFF IS, OR HOW GOOD THE PRODUCT, the
violation of the law in the second paragraph will decay.
Fantastic, isn't it?
All one has to do to make an organization grow is apply the law that a
large organization is composed of groups. It is NOT composed of
individuals.
