Constructive feedback: Feedback involves the communication of retroactive information to evaluate performance and results. This can include reinforcing positive feedback as well as constructive comments aimed at improving processes and behaviours.Adaptability: Parts of the system that value feedback are open to adaptation. They see feedback as an opportunity to learn and adjust, which contributes to greater efficiency and continuous growth.Open communication: Feedback fosters a culture of open communication where members of the system can express their opinions, ask questions and share information transparently.
Future-oriented: The vision focuses on defining a desired future for the system. This includes creating ambitious goals, setting a clear direction and mobilising parts of the system towards achieving that vision.Inspiration: An inspiring vision motivates members of the system by providing a meaningful purpose and a commitment to higher ideals. This can stimulate creativity and innovation within the system.Coordination: The vision serves as a guide for coordinating the actions and efforts of the various parts of the system. It helps to maintain coherence and alignment towards common goals.
In the context of considering feedback and vision as two polarities of the same principle in a living system, we could define each of these components as follows:
1. Feedback
2. Vision
In a living system, the balance between feedback and vision is crucial. Too much feedback without vision can lead to reactivity without clear direction. Conversely, vision without feedback can lead to planning that is disconnected from reality and an inability to adjust to change.
A dynamic balance between these two components fosters a system capable of learning, adapting and progressing towards inspiring goals.
