I'm beginning to think that an organization can be understood in terms of
the interactions among these archetypes, in particular which ones tend to
dominate under which conditions, and how they negotiate for power and
influence. Part of this could deal with the question of whether/how
individuals play multiple roles, and under what circumstances.
There are other systems of archetypes and I'd certainly be interested in
how those might apply to organizations, not just Moore's.
Is this a useful line of dialogue?
