Part II is asking how it is possible that all organisations, whether large or small, governmental or private or scientific or religious, have identical visions about their structures? When that vision was born?

5. Why does a conflicts arise? Why so
hard to make changes inside of
organization?
• Many would agree that a coded conflict is hidden within
the structure of a modern organization:
• between directors and employees
• between managers and subordinates
• between functional departments
• between an individual and a team
• between different colleagues and so forth.
• My hypothesis is simple – the greater part of conflicts
arise due to a pyramidical outlook and Social Darwinism, a
philosophy which professes that only the best-adapted
individuals survive in a competitive battle. This poses a
question and an issue. How can we shake free of conflicts
which have become instilled in a pyramidical viewpoint and
develop a harmonious, energetic and self- improving
organization?

7. Drawing of an organization
and reality
• It has so happened that people comprehend
their organization in terms of a structural
outline. Regardless of what it might be – an
international financial corporation, a golf club
association or a club of Sunday school
principals – the structural blueprint of an
organization reflects its management. The
structural chart describes functions, delineates
the limits of responsibility and establishes
subordination.

17. All our plans are disrupted by the fourth
measurement – time!
• Albert Einstein proved the
existence of a fourth
measurement – time.
Specifically time distorts
the other three measures of
space – length, width and
height.
• The thing is that
unevaluated time always
disturbs our plans.
• To w h e r e d i d t h e
measure of time or its
equivalent vanish from the
organizations of these

18. Just three thousand
years ago, the Greek
God, Chronus, was the
personification of time.
In the mosaics of
Greek-Roman times,
this creature was
depicted as the zodiac
wheel.

19. The Greeks introduce the hierarchy of the
gods, but in the same time, they create a
democracy
The triangle, at that
time, was pictured
within a circle, a
visualization of what
later became, as
Einstein named, “the
four-dimensional
space-time
continuum”.

20. But Pythagorus
(500 BC) did a very
huge impact on
western thinking. He
thought that our
universe can only be
made of triangles,
because that was the
most stable structure
possible. From that
moment on, the
symbol of the triangle
overwhelmed that of
the circle in Western
culture.

21. In Western culture the
measurement of time
transferred into the clock.
It became an attribute of
every town centre.

22. A Greek also introduced the concept of hierarchy.
Approximately 1500 years ago, Areopagite raised the
concept which, translated into our language, would mean,
“Rule based on holiness”. He argued that this heavenly
system has precisely nine levels.

23. In the modern
culture of the
West, the
pyramid became
an archetype, a
symbol of the
subconscious,
which we do not

24. The question
for
consideration
and verification
is: how many
levels does
your
organization
have?

25. The pyramid and hierarchy reinforce an
illusion that some one person can become
almighty and all-knowing.
The Earth is the
centre of the
universe - the first
managerial belief
which conflicts
with the sciences,
one which was
especially carefully
defended.

26. The human is the centre of the world.
Naturally, once the earth became the centre of
the universe, the next step was also taken – man
is the ruler of the earth and the centre of the
world. This is a road back toward the idea of the
Egyptians that a human can be compared to a
god. Such an idea formed an egocentric outlook
for a long time, one which gained a firm foothold
in the culture of the United States in the
semblance of individual saviours of mankind.

27. The ideas of C. Darwin, that natural selection gives rise to the best was
especially suitable to the philosophy of a pyramidical-hierarchical management
for organizations. An opinion took hold that, to best manage a company, each
individual must be effectively exploited (the person must not stand idle), and
competition must be generated between individuals for the “best” to rise to the
top.
The human being became entrenched as a unit at the base of a
pyramid, in other words, one of its bricks. What do you want from
the bricks - flexibility, changes?
