Micro-macro

13/7/2017

76 Comments

 
I took part in a fascinating workshop this week on systemic coaching and constellations led by Sarah Rozenthuler and Edward Rowland. Part-way through, I went for a quick comfort break and smiled when I saw this sign on the wall: ‘Please refrain from spitting chewing gum in the urinals. It blocks the system.’ What a great metaphor! A simple action in one part of a system can have inadvertent and far-reaching impacts on other parts of the system – or even on the system as a whole.

This reminded me of an incident 3 years ago when I snapped my left knee in a cycling accident. It was a serious injury that left me immobilised for 3 months. As I started learning to walk again, I felt sharp pains and heard crunching sounds in my right knee. Feeling surprised and alarmed by this, I spoke with a physiotherapist who explained that I was, in effect, overcompensating for the injury in my left knee by avoiding putting weight on it – and thereby placing extra strain on my other knee.

Here’s the point. The solution to the symptoms I was experiencing in the right knee lay not in the right knee per se but in how I dealt with the left knee. Imagine now that the issue is not a knee but is an issue at work. As leaders, OD or coaches, how often do we locate an issue or a problem in a person or team, thereby attempting to address or solve it there without paying attention to factors elsewhere in the system, often out of sight, that could be creating, exacerbating or sustaining it?

​Edwin Nevis, a Gestalt organisational consultant, comments that we often see and feel aspects of the macro system reflected and revealed in the micro – and vice versa too. A simple inquiry can be illuminating here, e.g. ‘Who else?’ or ‘What else?’ It draws us to step back, to be curious, to shift our focus, to consider who or what may be influencing what and how. So: what do you look for, what are you (not) noticing, what are you experiencing and how do you make sense of it?

Such a simple question but I'm not sure there's a simple answer. Situations are too varied to expect a straightforward answer that fits them all. The critical thing is to realise that, whether you're dealing with an injured body or a malfunctioning organisation, you have to look beyond the presenting problem. Whatever solution you decide to apply, it has to take into account what effect it will have on the whole system.

Hi Barry. Interesting comments. I agree with looking 'beyond the presenting problem.' In my experience, it's often difficult (if even possible) to discern effects on the whole system in advance, especially if the whole system is complex, dynamic and permeable to influences of wider systems too. An action in one part sometimes creates perverse incentives or unintended consequences in another part, or in the system as a whole. In such environments, it's sometimes about action research - creating a hypothesis, taking a step, seeing what happens, modifying the hypothesis if needed, then taking the next step. It's a bit like walking with awareness and drawing on insights and awareness from multiple stakeholders in the system.

Hi Nick, I did some interesting training on identifying collective issues and themes and gauging their implications for group life. (Facilitating group conflicts). I've been doing this quite naturally in organisational settings over the years. Taking your body parts analogy, I'm interested in how individual concerns (parts of the entire body) relate to the whole and how the whole relates to those individual concerns. Are they recognised and consciously acknowledged or do they represent more marginalised states or positions? Are they perceived as integral or disassociated from? What are the dynamics which relate to that position? Are they experienced as integral or inconsequential? Who's carrying the power when it comes to assigning significance and how does that impact on group life? Framing all of this supports greater awareness and brings the micro and macro into conscious relationship.

Thanks for sharing, Nick. It's a great illustration about what happens in organisations. Our attention is drawn to those parts that, apparently are not working, so we focus on them. The problem may be (is usually not) coming from them but from other parts of the system. Inquiring, being curious, connecting other parts of the system will help us to find the solution.

16/7/2017 04:23:27 pm

Thanks Eduard. You're welcome. I agree. Interestingly, we can also use inquiry into what is working well (e.g. appreciative inquiry). We often find that reveals aspects of the wider system too.

Nice observation and self-awareness! I know it sounds cliché-ish, but I never choose between micro and macro; they're both parts of the same thing. One may take more focus than the other at any given point, but they're always in play and they each define the other.

Very well put, Nick. Many times I've been asked as a training consultant to 'sort out' an apparently poorly performing sales team or individual, only to uncover cultural, systemic or interpersonal factors that are creating, exacerbating or sustaining the behaviour. No amount of training in isolation will change the situation. Hence the need for a wide ranging training needs analysis, involving all stakeholders.

Reply
Nick Wright
20/7/2017 02:18:58 pm

Thanks Hilary. I agree. It can be useful to ask, for instance, 'Why are things as they are?' or 'Why are we doing what we are doing?' It can help raise awareness of interpersonal, cultural or systemic drivers that often lay hidden from sight.

Thanks Julia - and great metaphor. They key that opens the door often lays in a different part of the system to the door itself. 'What would need to happen to unlock this?' could be a great question to pose.

Absolutely spot on and though I might be digressing from the original question I can relate to some of the answers [Hilary Furber] We are so often called in to do " band aid training " and to sprinkle magic dust on the employees so that all will be well....generally all will not be well because the change needs to start at the very top . We have in the past turned down contracts when we felt in our guts that the RESULTS of the training would be short-lived due to the underlying issues that beset the company as a whole . We now either encourage training the management team first OR have them join the sessions too ... we put a whole lot of energy and passion into our work, care too much for our hard-earned reputation AND the stakeholders' ROI to be nonchalant about this . Intake sessions are held until we are pretty sure that no stone will be left unturned in the training and all cards are on the table. Anything less is pure lip-service to training and development.

Thanks Michael. You are certainly not alone! When training and working with coaches, I'm often struck by how person-centered their practice is with little, if any, attention to 'who else?' and 'what else?' in the frame. I came into coaching via community development which probably influences my cultural and systemic outlook and approach. How about you?

Thanks Marie. I agree that significant issues often lay beneath the surface. They may also lay elsewhere in the system(s) or in the system as a whole. Sometimes exploring systems with the client, including their real and possible influences, can be revealing and incredibly useful.

Interesting. In my training career the path from micro (basic skills like using a piece of test equipment) to macro (overall ability to maintain a piece of equipment) passes through mini (specific testing and adjustment processes).

Hi Gordon. Interesting analogy. Another way of thinking about it could be to deploy the test equipment and to observe what else, apart from the equipment itself, influences the achievement of successful results?

Great points. When I help someone suffering from stress and the consequential under performance, in over 70% of cases the fastest recovery comes through the client changing their relationship with those around them as they were inadvertently attracting more than their share of the organisational challenges.

Great article Nick, thanks for sharing. You're so right about the tendency to focus on the 'dysfunctional' individual as a response to under-performance. As a trained systemic / constellation coach, I aim to bring awareness to what may be going on at the level of the system, but the majority of clients are so used to the focus on the individual that it can be quite challenging to engage them systemically. I think there is still a lot of work to be done to 'educate' those in organisational settings to a systemic emphasis.

Thanks Lorna. I would love to hear more about your experiences of using a systemic/constellation approach. Do you have any examples you could share? I think Peter Senge's 'The Fifth Discipline' was a great contribution in the 'educate' arena when it was published in 1990 but I don't see much evidence of it being practised in coaching conversations. On the 'dysfunctional individual', you may find this short article interesting? http://www.nick-wright.com/what-is-really-going-on-here.html

I wonder if this points to a larger issue...one where we don't focus on the real gap, but instead chase after metrics that are convenient to track.

For example, I once was part of a team tasked with reducing handle time by 10% with a call center team. This was an easy to conceptualize objective...train the reps to get folks off the phone quicker. But, because our leadership encouraged us to be open in our diagnosis, it became clear that handle time wasn't really a problem. It was callbacks. So, the shift became first call resolution.

The training for this was harder, but the business outcome was much more beneficial to the business.

Always OBSERVE first to get the bigger picture so you have an understanding of (sometimes extremely weird) Company demands/process/ expectations; then the fun begins 😊

Reply
Nick Wright
26/7/2017 10:59:59 am

Hi Susan. 'Sometimes extremely weird' definitely corresponds with some of my experiences too! :) It partly depends on our role. Sometimes it's about enabling the client(s) to grow in awareness of their own environment - including who or what is influencing what and how that may shift in different circumstances and times. Sometimes it's not possible to see the bigger picture which is where something like an experimental/experiential action learning approach can be useful: try something, see what happens, be curious about why. That is where greater understanding sometimes begins to emerge.

Valid question ! It is common that a visible problem is actually the consequence of a deeper issue . A typical example is when a group blames one person for blocking the system. To identify if there is more, I usually propose to the group to visualize the ideal situation and develop their vision with details. Inconsistencies often show up and may demonstrate that this person 's function is to bear all the blames !
