Document Summary

Part 1 - historical and developmental perspective: 1. 1 - changing paradigms: past and present organizational models. Earliest developmental stage of humanity (100,000 to 50,000 bc) People have a limited capacity to handle complexity in relationships at this stage. The ego is not fully formed, people don"t perceive themselves as different from others or the environment. High rate of violence and murder at this stage. No organizational model, people forage and there aren"t any divisions of labour (other than women being in charge of having and raising the children) No hierarchy, no elder or chief that provides leadership. Shift from small family bands to tribes of a few hundred people. The self is differentiated physically and emotionally from others, though still sees itself as the center of the universe. Tribes seek comfort in ritualistic behaviours and by following the elder and the shaman. People mostly live in the present with little projection toward the future.
