Greetings dear Fred,
These are wise words. Let us follow them up.
What is the opposite of an "essentially unchecked mode"? Can it be
"accountants, auditors and consultants" doing their job with honesty and
integrity? I do not think this is enough because they interact with the
"big wigs" while seldom, if ever with the "little folk".
Should we seek wholeness so that the "little folk" also share in the
meaning of the check reports, then they will have to learn the meaning of
such reports. The best way to do this is to transform the company in a
Learning Organisation (LO).
However, I suspect that once the company has emerged into a LO, much less
such checking will happen. The LO would know what to avoid the bad and how
to avoid it. Those who might try shady deals, will be much more careful
because learners will recognise a shady deal much easier.
With care and best wishes
