Thank you for your comment. It seems to be the typical game that -
in the end - power and the question, who has power - decides about the
outcome of those games. My experience is that people know that, and
therefor protect themself - at least in large, bureaucratic systems that
do not really value individual performance, but group performance, it is
not hard to stay inside, protect yourself by delivering an average
performance, and hide your own frustration or inner dismissal. However,
even if it may be very likely that such a culture - as called 'role
culture' by Handy - is satisfied with an average performance, it is also
true that the company may not earn the full potential what high commited
people may be able to contribute. I think that is a pitty, but true for
many organizations.
