The Control Hierarchy
With only Envisioners and
Enablers, there is great
enthusiasm and clear
direction, but no settlers to
complete the work.
When Enactors and Enablers
combine, analysis paralysis
may be the result.
Certainly there is a likelihood
that there will be less
creativity and updating of
vision.
Envisioners and Enactors
combine to form a volatile
mixture of rejection and denial.
“We can see, but they don’t
understand!”
……. CONFLICT !!!
In the absence of a
shared vision and
transparency, it is
unlikely that these
different attribute types
will stay unified and
together over the longer
term.

DANNY MILLER
‘THE ICARUS PARADOX’
“The differences in the administrative
structure of very small and very large firms
are so great that in many ways it is hard to
see that the two species are of the same
genus… …
We cannot define a caterpillar and then use
the same definition for a butterfly”
[Penrose 1959]
