recently I read an excerpt by a
management consultant named Lawrence
Miller regarding the lice life cycles of
a corporation and I thought about
sharing it with you and how this relates
to a life cycle of a civilization as
well so here’s here’s what he explains
he explains how a corporation starts
with a profit right now once you go
understand it this also has a lot to do
with civilization the profit of a
civilization could be the founding
fathers this is the visionary this is
the person with the idea the Steve
Wozniak right then the next space comes
when the barbarians arrived
now the Barbarian is the pilgrims the
Steve Jobs impatient very urgent right
one of the quotes he uses in his excerpt
is how bipedal McArthur 1904 every
successful enterprise meets three people
a dreamer a businessman and an sob and
you know what an sob is right you need
somebody that’s gonna go out there kind
of ruffle the feathers a little bit the
Barbarian right then he explains the
next phase is the Builder and the
Explorer right the Builder that Explorer
could be the salesman the people that
are willing to go and take the product
to international southern China sell it
somewhere else but the Builder explore
in a civilization is a rockefeller
a Ford a Franklin a Walton that’s
creating jobs that’s going out there
developing things right builder and the
Explorer then a mix comes the
administrator the administrator phase is
when a company starts putting
regulations rules systems law sometimes
they annoy the builders right because
they’re always getting in their way they
slow them down they can annoy these two
guys right because they’re slowing
things down for a nation the
administrator could be somebody that
creates four laws the law makers IRS
agents let’s hire more government
employees write more rules kind of like
in 1903 how in America we only had our
taxes was only 20 pages 10 to 20 pages
pages our tax code and now it’s over 80
and pages we are creating more rules
more regulations then the next phase is
the bureaucrat the bureaucrat is about
control it’s about I know what I know
what you need to do right so they’re the
lawmakers now who tell the
administrators to administrator the laws
that they have in place they don’t
connect with people all the time they’re
the rule makers bureaucrats don’t do
well with profits then the next phase is
the aristocrats aristocrat is the one
person who is the almighty I know better
than you I am smarter than everybody I
know what’s best for all the people out
there right so this is inevitable this
is not something we can prevent this
happens to great empires right and
typically the person that keeps it
together is the synergist every nation
every civilization corporation has many
synergies the key I want you to think
about when you look at this a lot of
empires are fallen before the Assyrian
Empire the Roman Empire many of these
empires are fallen before but when you
look at this this is the key here the
key is what can we do to keep the
company the civilization the corporation
in this face as much as possible where
creativity and creation is constantly
happening and keep it out of their ways
right where they can go out and do their
part to constantly expand grow you know
innovate create new things that’s
exciting there’s energy there’s
enthusiasm to keep it going
keys to stay at this phase my message of the week
