How Can MD Intervention Help In Creating HPOs

Consider, for a moment, what the following have in common:

All three used to fill a meaningful role in mainstream society.

...And think about this

external environment.

Challenge of integrating HPO components.

Middle manager roles

Dealing with employee resistance to self-managing teams.

High level leadership

Conclusion
A principled approach is helpful to the HPOs by allowing them to harness the natural energy of the people against the tasks to be completed.
HPOs have learned to design for results and self sufficiency rather than for form and elaborate supervisory control.

Conclusion
Their focus is on getting the work done right in the first place, rather than detecting or controlling errors. Often is the design process itself that jolts members of the organization into a realization of how much better their performance should be.
