GoalA group persists through time and does well in the environment it actually faces: it meets its aims, keeps its members' trust and well-being, and resolves its conflicts.From Stephen Le (documents)
Goal

A group persists through time and does well in the environment it actually faces: it meets its aims, keeps its members' trust and well-being, and resolves its conflicts.

Shown in diagrams as: “A group lasts and does well in its environment.”

Where this comes from

A credit says where an idea comes from, not that its author agrees with this wording. None of the people credited has reviewed it.

Connections

Open questions

  • Ask Stephen Le whether this goal states what Adaptive Persistence is for.

    The goal joins his stated aims (performance, well-being and trust, fewer conflicts) with lasting through time. He has not reviewed the wording.
