The 10 Principles of a holarchy
1 - Care
Care for True North. Care for what you do. Care for people around you.
1 - Care
Care for True North. Care for what you do. Care for people around you.2 - Leadership
Everyone leads in anything: what they do, how they think and what they believe. Servant leaders never stop to serve, enable or inspire others.3 - Engagement
Participate. Contribute where you can. Engage others. Take responsibility.4 - Decentral
Every holon is autonomous. There are no directed dependencies. There is no "HQ".5 - Informal
Everything is subject to the current need. There is no prescribed form for anything.6 - Practical
Do what works, don't what doesn't. What works in your holon may not work in another.7 - Respect
Everyone has something to contribute. You may need to discover what that is.8 - Non-judgmental
Just because you disagree doesn't mean they are wrong.9 - Openness
Everybody's perspective is limited. You grow by seeing through other's eyes.10 - Voluntary
Everything you do is your choice. Nobody must agree to anything.Conclusion
These principles are not open to customization or "adjustment for pragmatic purposes". If a single principle of holarchy is broken, the entire structure is threatened. Holarchies are fragile and require continuous attention.Establishing these principles takes years. There will be a lot of setbacks. Failure, getting up and improving are the normal. Regardless of what you see or what happens - never abandon these principles and do your best to keep them.
