Purpose and principle, clearly understood and articulated, and commonly shared, are the genetic code of a healthy organisation. To the degree that you hold purpose and principles in common among you, you can dispense with command and control. People will know how to behave in accordance with them, and they'll do it in thousands of unimaginable and creative ways. The organisation will become a vital, living set of beliefs.
Dee Hock, The Birth of the Chaordic Age, quoted in Organic Church, p124.
