Here's my top 10 list for characteristics of healthy organizations/enterprises/businesses/churches and their behavior and communications.
For any organization...
1. If it's growing, it's healthy.
2. If it's balanced, it's healthy.
3. If it's loving and joyful, it's healthy.
4. If it's on the edge of chaos, it's healthy.
5. It it's clear and understandable, it's healthy.
6. If it's trusting, it's healthy.
7. It it's healing, it's healthy.
8. If it's miraculous, it's healthy.
9. If it's forgiving, it's healthy.
10. If it's perspective is eternal, it's healthy.
Of course there are many more characteristics of healthy complex adaptive systems, but these 10 are easy to understand.
People in healthy organizations tell stories which contain one or more of these themes; people in dying organizations tell stories with themes that are the opposite of these 10.
What kinds of stories are your people telling?
