"First, people see their work as a contribution to a system, not as a stand-alone activity. Remember that an organization is not an entity at all. Instead, it is a recurring form created by roles, rules, categories, and joint activities. When people act as if their actions contribute to the creation and functioning of something like an interrelated system, then this something begins to materialize.
Second, heedful interrelating is held together by representations that visualize the meshed contributions. In other words, people represent the system within which their contributions and those of others interlock to produce outcomes. In carrier deck operations, for example, safe and reliable launch and recovery of aircraft is possible only when teams are aware of the interdependencies involved in catapult-assisted takeoffs, arresting wire recoveries, and changes in the ship’s course.
Third, heedful interrelating involves subordination. Subordination refers to the condition in which people treat the system as their dominant context, ask what it needs, and act in ways intended to meet those needs. Less heedful subordination occurs when people work to rule, partition the world into my job and not my job, act largely based on self-interest, and spend more time talking than listening."
