The Obsolescence of the Power Paradigm The Obsolescence of the Power Paradigm Ricardo Mealha

Em 1998 Antonieta Costa, na investigação que realizou ao modelo de organização social presente nas Irmandades do Espírito Santo dos Açores, escreveu o que era impensável no mundo empresarial de há 11 anos atrás: um modelo de organização sem hierarquias. Entretanto o mundo mudou. Esse "modelo utópico" está gradualmente a tornar-se o novo paradigma das organizações do séc. XXI.

"Power became a problem when we understood that it contradicts all social processes, thoughts and relations among people. The simplest interaction between two people becomes a stage of battle where each one pretends to establish the "truth" about whatever was being in question. (...) the establishment of the "truth" is always dependent on a super-entity who gives the last word, an authority who reinforces the moral rightness, a hierarchical system to whom common man can resort to, in order to
"learn" how the order of the things is established, how it must be done, how everybody should behave. A society functioning under principles different from these is unforeseen and even unthinkable. (...).
