Management
is about making the system work, but not all systems can work because
some are badly designed. The
other day the people of France and Netherlands voted “Non” and “Nee”,
rejecting the EU Constitution. That
terrible document encased the economic theory that says there is no
middle ground between old social welfare statism and
the new rage, led by the U.S. and Britain, for a global economic system
of privatization,
which is erroneously called “Free Market”. In
that system of brutal, inhumane runaway Capitalism, we see an expanding
downtrodden poverty class in the West where the rich get richer and
the middle class sinks into a black hole. There
are other less corrupt and more charitable economic models that could
be followed without all the obvious drawbacks of either globally enslaving
privatization or old welfare statism, but
virtually all leaders in both government and business behave as if
there is only one of these two choices, whether in Europe or anywhere
else. Why is this? The ecopolitical leaders
and senior managers have made up their minds (apparently on the basis
of Bilderberg meetings) that the only economic system of choice is
total privatization of everything, outsourcing of all manufacturing
and jobs to China and India, elimination of nation states and putting
an end to real democracy, which is now called populism. As this corrupt and unquestioned system
of exploiting the masses and eliminating their freedom of choice is
put into place, management must then make this new ugly thoughtless system work
in both business and governmental institutions. The
system naturally produces waste and incompetence with increasing failure
to produce what it promises to produce, which means that managers have
an increasingly unrewarding and thankless task with diminishing opportunity
to question the New Economic System as to its effect on their organization. Intelligent managers with good ideas that
could help are told to shut up and stop rocking the boat.
Let’s
now take a deeper look at the ecopolitical crisis
of Europe. What the leaders and senior managers in Europe need for Europe is the Viable System Model of
Stafford Beer coupled with System Dynamics Scenario Planning with
an eye to developing a new, inventive and more longrange workable
economic growth system that does not beat the common people into the
ground, destroy the environment or engage in wars for oil. This would require expert facilitative
consulting. It would also
require a total divestment of America and throwing Britain out of Europe because the Anglo-American
privatization and police state drive is uneconomic and undemocratic. Some European Bilderbergers can be brought
to their senses, but their elite counterparts in America and England are too far gone in their self-destructive,
short-sighted and blinkered approach. The Neoconservatives and New Labour political operatives are nothing but poison for Europeans
and the majority of Europeans instinctively know this. Leaders and senior managers in Europe are having a hard time waking
up to what all this is really about. The
great Bilderberg and G8 lying machines have been increasingly making
them part of the problem, which is why the European Project is faltering. Balanced, ethical and just Capitalism
still has a chance against both New Privatization and Old Socialism,
but real thinking and real care for the choices of ordinary people
are still drastically lacking. A
new balanced and less Anglo-American EU Constitution II can be created
without overrunning Europe with Eight Million Desperate
Turks who cannot even make their own country work. But the New World Order people will fight
hard to prevent improved decision-making in Europe for Europe, which is sad because Europe is the last place on Earth
that can prevent GM poisoning, corrupt privatization and anti-democratic
police state surveillance and controls.
This
is not just about social responsibility. It
is also about healthy business competition and the renewal of rewarding
strategic management, which requires True Capitalism, not the stinking
farce of Privatization. In
a system of True Capitalism more and more people become wealthy and
the upper middleclass becomes the new growing middle class with less
and less poverty. Under
Privatization fewer and fewer become wealthy and the middleclass falls
into increasing poverty and despair until everybody is being chip-tagged
like animals without human rights while managers become nothing but
stressed-out and overworked bureaucrats in a system of mindless rule
of a secretive hierarchy.
In Britain, there is a politically ineffectual
minority of truly intelligent creative thinkers in government, business
and academia, but New Labour and the Tories
still have an overall oppressive grip on the duped people of Britain. My advice to all these intelligent and
ethical members of government, business and academia is that they abandon Britain and come reside in Europe where there is still a spark
of hope of renewing European institutions for the better. Come and help the European Project become
something that can offer a real and better alternative to the Neocons
and New Labourites. In
Europe is where there is still a chance for creative management and
genuine organizational learning, but these things cannot happen as
long as Europe has too many pro-American and pro-British leaders slowly
manipulating the people of Europe to accept some form of EU Constitution
I, perhaps cosmetically altered but still bad.
If
you don’t want to come to Europe, then learn Chinese and go help the people of China and the Pacific Rim overcome corrupt False
Communism so they can have True Socialism, which is almost the
same as True Capitalism, if you can get your head around it. Do not forget that the Chinese and nations
of the Pacific
Rim also
have their own hidden and corrupt power mongers who are the Eastern
equivalent of the Western Bilderberg Group, Neocons and New Labour. Managerial life in the East is no picnic. There
is great suppression of creative and ethical intelligence there as
well. If you look carefully, it is still Europe for choice, but whatever you
do, get out of America and Britain, for they are well on the way
to being polluted and privatized police states. Managerial
work will continue to degenerate in America and Britain. Do what you will, management
does not happen in an ecopolitical vacuum. When
the larger system is all wrong, the lesser systems embedded in it will
also go all wrong. This is a Law of Recursive Systems,
which must be understood.
What
are the chances of a truly viable and socially just ecopolitical system
for Europe? I think there is a small
chance worth giving some energy and promotion. Yet
who will grasp it? That
is the big question that floats in the air of Europe over the next five years.
