… I have to add a comment to a previous post ‘handling intentions‘:
When people are in meetings, there’s a number of activities they seem to prefer:
- … Hiding some intentions, making personal notes or for reporting to the ‘organisational backbone’;
- … Sharing some intentions…
Assuming people are (un)intentionally hiding part of their notes, what exactly drives them? How usefull is this behavior? Can we express this shielding behavior in terms of vulnerability? Would this perspective of vulnerability explain the behavior on personal level, what does that mean for group behavior?
Exactly how can visualization make us embrace vulnerability, (re)opening and supporting discourse?
Let’s go back and quote Brown about blame in political context:
…You know how blame is described in the research?
…A way to discharge pain and discomfort.
There is a risk that visualization could reinforce unwanted behavior as well. For instance by reinforcing blame. In order to know how to prevent this, we must learn more about types of behavior: fixed action pattern, habituation & operant conditioning.
These types can help us create a steering wheel when dealing with vulnerability.
