ON THE MYTH OF HIGH AGENCY AND LARGE CORPORATIONS
Why is it that most large corporations discourage, and even punish high agency in their employees?
Indeed on the surface it seems they would welcome it with open arms, but facts at most large corporations suggest otherwise.
Did you now the now vilified Scrum and Agile movement calls for High Agency, but few in management actually agree?
High Agency in employees requires a corporate culture that encourages disagreement and meritocracy. A culture that is willing to cut waste, and innovate.
This culture is not the norm but the exception. That said a culture where management decisions support High Agency is precisely what brings breakthroughs, innovation and prosperity to us all.
There is also a Bitcoin connection. Low agency cultures thrive in places where centralized power rules, it is a key characteristic of Bureaucracy. Defend the status quo!
Bitcoin on the other hand represents the opposing forces: Decentralization and Freedom, both foundational for High Agency.
Where can we find a culture of High Agency? Usually in much smaller businesses, startups and communities where freedom and meritocracy is welcome and rewarded.
