A peaceful order must be adjusted to their needs and resources, and it must reflect and in turn influence their character, that is, their habitual attitudes and understandings. The establishment of such world order depends on using available knowledge and providing for its increase and dissemination, and on broadening the applications of wisdom. The cultural heritage, finally, is determined in patterns which have resulted from innovations in action, thought, or expression of individual human beings engaged in the solution of social, economic, religious, aesthetic, ethical, philosophic or scientific problems. The conscious critical examination of these activities and their clarification relative to the ends they serve depends, not on social conditions from which they arose or on political power and controls by which their external manifestations might be inhibited or advanced, but on standards of aesthetic, ethical and scientific judgment ( 1971).

The characteristics of cultures may be discerned, in the first place, in the social aspects of human action and co-operation in the patterns, recognizable as forms of conduct and transmissible from generation to generation, which appear in the behavior of men and the determination of their functions. Forms of group behavior are, however distinguishable from the cultures of which they are signs, and anthropologists sometimes differentiate society, in the sense of a group of people who have learned to live together, from culture, in the sense of the distinctive ways of life of such a group of people. The distribution of functions and the division of labor required for the production and exchange of goods and for the common life constitute the organization of societies, while the customs and beliefs which hold societies together and enable them to survive are expressions of their cultures ( 1971).

The distinction is seen in its limiting case in sub-human societies, like those of the social insects, which are cultureless, whereas every human society is possessed of a characteristic culture. Every culture presupposes a society, but the converse of this formula is not true. Cultures may therefore be studied in the conduct of peoples and in the cumulative traditions of the transmission of patterns of conduct with their lags, interruptions, and intrusions of novelty. So viewed, cultures are the material traces of ideas and ideals in the habits of men. An analysis of the actions, productions and convictions by which men adjusted themselves to the conditions in which they found themselves can supply information, not about the circumstance and materials to which they were applied, but about the group

# People are trusted and treated as responsible, caring, and committed adults — which is how they then behave.

# A collection of small self-contained teams or business units are many times more flexible and responsive at meeting threats and capitalizing on opportunities.

# Ownership, commitment, energy, and passion levels are much higher.

# Everyone focuses on meeting customer/partner — not the internal bureaucracy's — needs.

# People have more control over their work. This replaces the vicious cycle of learned helplessness with a virtuous cycle of hopefulness and leadership.
