This Holacracy Thing
- walterbell 12y agoSee Frank Herbert's Dune or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_cybernetics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_cybernetics for additional context on the limitations of fixed models.
- anigbrowl 12y agoThis might seem pedantically trivial, but my first reaction to holacracy was 'why should I trust your system when you can't even build a word properly?' The Hol part is is from Holos, Greek for whole. You could talk about a holarchy (a previous attempt at this sort of system) because a 'holorchy' would suggest a whole ball and 'holoarchy' is unwieldy. But 'holacracy' is such a linguistic mess that it conveys an air diving into something without having thought out the underlying assumptions properly.
