Today’s topic, as promised, is who will lead. If we check back to where we left things off we find we have a society with absolutely no legislature that also specifically bans the practice of politics.
Who the heck will lead this rag tag bunch and more importantly, how?
As you may know, good citizen, words are powerful things and some words invoke powerful responses.
So it is with this word for management has abused us all.
It is not the practice of management but the practitioners that have brought down the value of this important word.
For the moment I will ask you to bear with me as I outline the path that leads to the top of the ladder.
For in this case it a ladder anyone and everyone can climb. The moment a new member embarks upon their career within Labor Driven Society they will also have set their feet on the path that could lead them to the very top of our civilization.
Make no mistake about it, every member of our society has a ‘real’ equal chance of becoming the leader.
Entry level personnel must first learn the skill of their choice. Upon mastering that skill, they are eligible to enter management.
The leap to management is a personal choice. There is no requirement to enter management. If you do take the plunge (and decide later it’s not for you) you can quit and return to the shop floor of your own volition during the next test cycle.
The management pyramid has thirteen levels. One must climb these levels one at a time, skipping none until they reach the top.
Sound too easy? Here’s the catch. In order to cross over into management one must wait (and prepare) for the competition.
All people that are eligible to hold any management position will compete with one another for the position on an annual basis.
If you’re already in management, not only do you compete to hold the job you have but you MUST also compete for the next job up the ladder.
There’s no such thing as a ‘stationary’ management position. Fresh blood will be the rule rather than the exception.
Losing in the competition one year does not bar you from trying again the following year. You are always a candidate for the next level regardless if you never make it.
Those who get ‘bumped out’ of the competitions (lose both their bid to defend as well as their bid to move up) will return to the shop floor BUT, would continue to be paid at the highest position they held.
As an incentive to do better, the higher you climb the more you’d make along with other fringe benefits…benefits you can keep should you fall in the competitions.
At the low end the tests will focus more on the job itself, decision-making abilities and people skills.
As you progress, your character will also become a factor for advancement.
At the top, your vision as well as you ability to devise workable solutions to complex problems will weigh heavily in the tests.
In this manner we, the people, will know that the best person for the job has won the right to lead us.
One can stay at the top for as long as they continue to win the competitions, although there is no obligation to do so.
It is important to spell out that management under Labor Driven society will be different than it is under our current capitalist model.
Since the term profit will be redefined as the benefit reaped by society, so will the term management be redefined as those who facilitate getting the job done rather than the old version of those who oversee the task at hand.
Our new style manager will be very much the hands on type. Since they will have risen directly from the shop floor, they will know first hand what it takes the get the job done.
While it will be possible to jump from industry to industry, climbing the ladder is an internal task. One must know their field inside and out in order to succeed.
Management positions will always be filled from the bottom up regardless of the ‘qualifications’ people knocked out in other fields may bring to the table. A management position is a reward for achievement, not a privilege for the educated (but otherwise clueless.)
One of the core principals of labor driven society is that everyone makes their own way. To facilitate fairness, the ‘playing field’ will be as level as possible. Nepotism, as well as creating ‘employment opportunities’ that circumvent the career ladder will be a criminal offense.
There you have it, good citizen. A society managed by those who will prove (through thirteen levels) that they have what it takes to be at the helm of our society.
Their job as leaders (there will be three, not one) will be to solve the problems facing society and to put the possible solutions before us to vote upon.
These leaders have no power to enact legislation or to modify existing laws on their own.
That power rests squarely where it should, in the hands of the people.
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
