Ontological Perspective on Organizational Gaze
Organizations often operate under an instrumental gaze, focusing narrowly on short-term tangible outcomes, which is essential for survival but limits the ability to engage with the world more richly. This perspective promotes a sense of separation and utility. In contrast, an emergent and systemic gaze opens up possibilities for deeper relationships and understanding, allowing for fundamental choices that reflect interdependence and constant change. Effective dialogue hinges on this broader perspective; by turning towards others and genuinely attending to their voices, a richer, more complex conversation can emerge. However, the excessive focus on busyness prevalent in organizational settings obstructs meaningful dialogue, preventing exploration of deeper issues and creating an environment that prioritizes operations and targets over relational engagement.
