Writing Tags
These tags describe structural patterns that recur across the writing — conditions that shape how work functions inside organizations.
Navigate by recognition rather than interest. Each tag surfaces essays that examine the same dynamics from different angles.
- Systems Thinking • 2
A lens for understanding how outcomes emerge from interactions, feedback loops and incentives — not from individual actions in isolation.
- Organizational Design • 3
How structure, authority and decision flow shape behavior — independent of culture, intent or personality.
- Decision Architecture • 1
How decisions are framed, constrained and ordered upstream — long before execution makes the consequences visible.
- Authority & Accountability • 2
How authority and accountability are aligned — or separated — and what happens when responsibility is assigned without control.
- Strategy • 1
Strategy understood as the ordering of decisions — not a plan, a vision statement or a set of goals.
- Governance • 2
The formal and informal rules — escalation paths, controls and constraints — that determine how organizations behave under pressure.
- Work • 1
The lived reality of how work actually gets done — including the invisible effort required to compensate for unclear decisions and structure.
- Complexity • 1
Acknowledging non-linearity, ambiguity and why simple solutions routinely fail in complex systems.
