Episode notes

Group dynamics involve the distinction between the interior feeling of being part of a group and the exterior documents that dictate how to behave in the group. The interior feeling is subjective and can only be known through personal experience or deep conversation, while the exterior documents are visible and can be read. The mutual understanding of feeling good in a work environment is a result of the interior dynamics, as it cannot be solely derived from the external guidelines.

In this episode, Vince Fakhoury Horn is joined in conversation with Richard D. Bartlett. Rich is the author of Patterns for Decentralised Organising and a contributing author for Better Work Together. He is a co-founder of Loomio and The Hum. He is a Director and longstanding member of Enspiral. In finding where convergence resides among them, Vince and Rich explore many interesting topics including Decentralised Organising, Microsolidarity, Fractal Narcissism, and the Occupy Movement.

“The world is great when there is a huge variety of different ways of being and they form some complex, uncontrollable network. That we’re all enmeshed together and we’re all playing different parts…” - Richard D. Bartlett
