How I Apply Requisite Organization Methods

- In terms of assessing individuals and their level of capability. It's still is an area that we struggle with, that I struggle with because people are very complex. The bigger challenge for me was when I moved from that role of business development, HR and legal and became the president of the company.
- How do you use this in terms of growing organization? We have now probably doubled the size of the company in people in the past four years. How do you make sure you're getting the right people into the right roles and then going back and reassessing?
- The next challenge is going to be as we get larger. You have to start thinking more in a more systematic way in succession planning. One challenge is always having to come back to the 80 20 rule. Compensation needs to be fair and equitable across an organization.
- I need to have more customer interaction than I have. I need to put more of my time on the orientation for everyone. Another challenge is making sure I have a personal relationship with each one of them. And I really need to be looking in terms of where is that next group of management going to come from.
- It was a great privilege to have worked directly with Elliot Jacks. He was a person who could always make you think. Today, this is one of the biggest challenges in the role I have. It's finding those kinds of moments.

- Thad Simons is the President and CEO of Novus International. Novus is an animal health and nutrition company. Two thirds of its sales are outside of the US. Simons says he has never had any management training. He credits HR manager Sabrina Hamilton for his success.
- The Nova's Vision is helping to feed the world. Today we tie those same concepts into principles of sustainability. A part of that was using Requisite organization. It took a lot of work with the different managers to set up the roles.
- Everyone is not equal in an organization because there have decisions have to be made. If we're doing it well we're pushing down that decision making. And we're also empowering people more to work at a level that they really are comfortable with.

Levels of Work Concepts Have Direct Impact on Planning for Leadership Development in Organizations

- If I were designing a curriculum for either civilians or for the military, it would have to reflect what I think an individual needs to learn at each specific point in time. What I would want is someone who is able to understand organizations as systems. Once you set that context, the context itself should help evoke leader behavior.

- Harry Levinson was a giant in the field of leadership. He created what is generally accepted modern knowledge about enlightened leadership. His relationship with Elliot Jacks gradually became more and more strained. I regret that the direction that the institute has taken has not been as exciting for him.
- At the core of what we do, in my book, Accountability, Leadership, at the core, it is 90% Elliot Jacks. He managed to offend just about every legitimate management academician other than Jerry Harvey. The reality is they just don't know what he stands for.

- Elliot always maintained a professional distance between himself and my father. He was employed in Glacier by the Works Council, not by the company itself. This enabled him to have some independence of his. Own. But there was also intense, personal clashes, but differences of opinion.
- When he became Managing Director of Joint Manager of Glacier in the late 30s, he was only 27 years old. In that same year he established the works council within Glacier. He was a committed socialist, a member of the Labour Party. His diary gives insight into the pressures he was under by his subordinates.

Variations in the Actualization of Psycho-social Forms

- Psychosocial entities exist independently of their actualization. I would like my own work to be developed within a wiki fashion because it's basically common sense. We've got to appreciate and tolerate and welcome diversity.

Outcomes of Using RO: Engaged Employees and a More Productive Organization

- If you've ever worked in a requisite organization, you will never want to work in a non requisite organization again. My business now is about aligning strategy, people and performance. The organization framework is that underpinning to allow an organization to link strategy, its people and its performance.
- For me, the most essential requirement for success is absolute clarity and absolute buy in at every level in the organization. ideally the sponsor is the business leader. If everybody is singing from the same song sheet, everyone is committed and everyone understands what the prize is. A more effective and more focused organization will deliver significantly better results.

Success Stories in Using Stratified Systems Theory

- In the 80s, CRA had completely restructured using Stratified systems theory as their basis across all of their companies. It gave me the opportunity for the first time to work from the top to the shop floor. There were major projects over a long period of time which was improving the quality of leadership.
- CRA started from what were the major systems that needed to be aligned and coherent with the culture. Change programs probably, and depending on the size of the organization, went on for five or six years. It's really thinking about very seriously the design of those systems and then thinking about what behaviors will that drive.
