There's another part of this "objectivity" thinking that has jusst
struck me (again) with great force. In recent interview work with
executives of a new client, I've noticed that they only count a small
percentage of the whole organisation as intelligent beings.
It does not even cross their minds that the mass of people who are
the organisation can think, understand or, in any significant way,
contribute as independent beings.
This is a function of that particular part of our "objectivity" model
that has us consider that we are outside of the organisation. We are
the executive and the rest is organisation and never the two shall be
one. These are good people and better than average executives, by
the way. The condition is so deep that they don't even know it's
that way and deny it (initially) when confronted with it.
