Rational Focus Ignores Our Emotional Mind
• Our rational mind depends on the long term memory storage
of our emotional mind to be able to think at all.
• These include cultural schema – patterns of acceptable
behavior we have absorbed since birth
• Organizational structure is a deeply held schema. If we’re
building an organization our emotional mind simply delivers an
automatic cultural response – somebody must be in control
communicateforlife.ca 2
Top Down Rationality
• Our emotional minds present these schema as positive
judgments of reality – there’s nothing neutral about this –
it’s the “right stuff”
• So most workplaces are “naturally structured” as
hierarchies - everybody has the permission of their
position to tell the people below them what to do.
communicateforlife.ca 3
communicateforlife.ca 4
Most of us believe that hierarchy and control ARE the reasons
organizations actually function and productive work happens.
Top Down Rationality
• Well-known organizations that successfully function without
top-down control – Google and W.L. Gore for example – are
seen as outliers, unusual, a bit mysterious.
• Our automatic belief in control also reinforces our belief that
managers make rational decisions and communicate them
thoughtfully.
They don’t!!!!

Bad Structure About Organizing

  • 2. Rational Focus Ignores Our Emotional Mind • Our rational mind depends on the long term memory storage of our emotional mind to be able to think at all. • These include cultural schema – patterns of acceptable behavior we have absorbed since birth • Organizational structure is a deeply held schema. If we’re building an organization our emotional mind simply delivers an automatic cultural response – somebody must be in control communicateforlife.ca 2
  • 3. Top Down Rationality • Our emotional minds present these schema as positive judgments of reality – there’s nothing neutral about this – it’s the “right stuff” • So most workplaces are “naturally structured” as hierarchies - everybody has the permission of their position to tell the people below them what to do. communicateforlife.ca 3
  • 4. communicateforlife.ca 4 Most of us believe that hierarchy and control ARE the reasons organizations actually function and productive work happens.
  • 5. Top Down Rationality • Well-known organizations that successfully function without top-down control – Google and W.L. Gore for example – are seen as outliers, unusual, a bit mysterious. • Our automatic belief in control also reinforces our belief that managers make rational decisions and communicate them thoughtfully.
