The Talk about DAO section is a collection of NonceGeek's thoughts on the practice of DAO.

A Brief Analysis of the Relationship between Individuals and Organizations

In any kind of organization, the relationship between individual and organization is a very important topic that deserves deep consideration.

First of all, let's analyze the state of the organization.

Applying the concept of game theory, the game relationship between organization and individual can be divided into three kinds as follows.

  • Zero-sum game: the organization creates very little new value, and the organization is only a "middleman" for the realization of individual labor value. At the same time, in order to maintain the organization itself, it also needs to take part of the value of individual labor as "commission".
  • Negative sum game: The organization is going downhill. This is a very difficult time for both the organization and the individual. Many times the organization will even suppress the individuals, typically by withholding wages from employees.
  • Positive game: The overall development is active.

It seems that, as individuals, we can choose the organization that is in a "positive-sum state" and be done with it.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem so simple.

Let's consider two dimensions - the 'revenue dimension' and the 'growth dimension' - and we can get two tables.

+--------------------------------------------------+
|               Earnings Table                     |
+--------------------------------------------------+
|            |   Satisfaction  | Dissatisfaction   |
+--------------------------------------------------+
| Individual |                 |                   |
+--------------------------------------------------+
| Org        |                 |                   |
+--------------------------------------------------+

+--------------------------------------------------+
|                 Growth Table                     |
+--------------------------------------------------+
|            |   Satisfaction  | Dissatisfaction   |
+--------------------------------------------------+
| Individual |                 |                   |
+--------------------------------------------------+
| Org        |                 |                   |
+--------------------------------------------------+

Many companies in a "positive state" are able to achieve win-win on the revenue table, and both individuals and organizations are satisfied with their revenue.

However, the most difficult part of the entire narrative is the win-win of the growth table, which is often the most neglected.

Short-term consistency and long-term uncertainty between individual and organizational growth in organizations

In many cases, personal growth and organizational growth may be consistent in the short term, but they are uncertain in the long term. For example, a fresh graduate will join a suitable organization for high growth; at the same time, the fresh graduate will inject "fresh blood" into the organization.

However, in the long run, there may be differences in the direction and speed of growth between individuals and organizations.

Traditional organizations have cumbersome mechanisms for joining and exiting, so when such differences arise, they either have to live with it or go their separate ways.

However, the DAO format gives a solution to this paradox -- ideally, anyone in the organization has the right to afk (away from keyboard: temporarily leave) and btk (back to keyboard: come back) at any time.

In this case, even if the development of the individual is not in line with the development of the organization, then it only needs to afk, no need to report to anyone; when you want to develop with the organization, just btk back to participate in organizational activities.

In other words, the decision to join, work and quit in a traditional organization is in the hands of the organization, but a real DAO will return this right to the individual. Through this "power transfer", can we truly create a win-win strategy for individuals and organizations?
