Justice

From Deliberative Democracy Institiute Wiki

"Justice is in the eyes of the beholder", the klatches says. As it is seems to be evidence from research from conservatives and liberals, not everyone looks at justice the same way. In a recent Book Hadit explains the differences in justice perspective[1].

In this paragraph I'll try to explain the differences.

Conservatives look at the system and the individual merits of a person to do the work. They like people who can make things happen and will pay much less attention to unjust distribution of resources. They tend to make coalitions, in order to make things happen, and they care less for the interests of the people that are outside the coalition.

Liberals look with empathy to every person and see him as equal. They appreciate more the thinking then the doing. Therefor liberals will pay less attention to the job done, and more to equal distribution of resources. The will favor fair play over achieving the goal.

Both sides are important for great organization to work well. When the favorite figures of conservatives take charge on an organization, it may work at the begging, but eventually, the conservative managers use more political power, and less consultation and straight play to achieve the goals. This is causing more Organizational politics, and therefor harm the organization. On the other hand, if more liberal managers will manage the organization, the ROI may be much smaller, and the organization will have difficulties to survive.

To solve this problem we have to develop a new kind of leadership that takes in to account mass participation and can deliver the goods. Inclusive management.

Yet before we develop this management, we have to develop bodyes in an organization that bridge the gap between these two ways of thinking. The may be called "mediation councils.
