Principlev1
Distribute authority and decision-making protocols
Distribute authority and decision-making protocols throughout an organization rather than concentrating them in founders to enable survival beyond individual tenure.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from behavior arising from structure (The behavior of a system arises from its structure, not from) and systems being designed for their results (Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it). Organizations dependent on founder decisions collapse when founders leave. Distributing decision protocols into structure changes the system design to produce different results. Highly actionable for institution building.
