AZ Sociocracy in Quotes #002
Many Voices One Song - shared power with sociocracy (a sociocracy manual):
Quote:
[…] our sociocratic organizations differ from organizations with aggregated, centralized hierarchical power in two ways:
We distribute power more evenly. Those who come with less agency get support to step into more agency. Those who come with more sense of agency contribute toward the whole without diminishing anyone else’s power. Teams doing work together are empowered to contribute.
We let power flow. Flow means the distribution of power needs to be adjusted and potentially changed over time. The sociocratic organization is adaptable and resilient.
Summary:
- the sociocratic organizations distribute power more evenly
- those who come with less agency get support to step into more agency
- those who come with more sense of agency contribute toward the whole without diminishing anyone else’s power
- the sociocratic organization is adaptable and resilient
