This Holacracy Thing

This might seem pedantically trivial, but my first reaction to holacracy was &#x27;why should I trust your system when you can&#x27;t even build a word properly?&#x27; The <i>Hol</i> part is is from <i>Holos</i>, Greek for whole. You could talk about a holarchy (a previous attempt at this sort of system) because a &#x27;holorchy&#x27; would suggest a whole ball and &#x27;holoarchy&#x27; is unwieldy. But &#x27;holacracy&#x27; is such a linguistic mess that it conveys an air diving into something without having thought out the underlying assumptions properly.

See Frank Herbert&#x27;s <i>Dune</i> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_cybernetics" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Second-order_cybernetics</a> for additional context on the limitations of fixed models.
