Competent coalitions are practical, functional, and purpose directed [see photo]. In our past it was competent coalitions that were visible [and invisible] pillars of all our communities.
Today these competent coalitions are rare. What we have are incompetent coalitions both visible and invisible. For example, the crude coalition between the Bank of England [incompetent to the core with it foot on the brake and the accelerator of monetary policy], the Pension Funds [incompetent players of the future markets on interest rates who left themselves with margins that could not be met unless they could sell bonds into a illiquid market], and the City [the predictatory financial engineers who thrive off commissions and fees charged to the likes of Pension Funds].
Most workers today are working inside an incompetent coalition. These workers might be competent but their efforts inside their workplaces are unlikely to produce the positive outcomes they might expect. These workers will be overshadowed by the incompetents who they work with in a tangled mess of loose ends.
Competent workers must seek out and join like-minded souls and build their own version of a spider's web. They will seek to build competent coalitions that are practical, functional, and purpose directed.
Richard.
