Understanding Tribal Signals: A Conversation with an Evolutionary Anthropologist

This Anthro Life

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 27, 2023 64:58


The episode emphasizes how understanding our innate human drives and dispositions is critical, as awareness allows us to work with them constructively. In particular, humans have a "tribe drive" - an instinct to cooperate and identify with groups, even strangers. Figuring out the signals that activate this drive is an important mission. David Samson talks about the concept of tribalism and the role it plays in human behavior. He discusses the idea of evolutionary mismatch, where humans are evolved for a different environment than the one they currently live in. This episode explains that tribes are intersubjective belief networks that signal coalitionary alliances to bootstrap trust among strangers. Moreover, it explores the power of tribal signals, such as symbols, language, music, and ideology, in creating a sense of belonging and identity. Additionally, the episode emphasizes the importance of being conscious of our identity stack and the proportion of abstract tribes (e.g., political tribes) versus face-to-face community tribes in order to navigate the challenges of tribalism in the modern world.David R. SamsonDavid R. Samson, Ph.D., is reshaping our understanding of human evolution. As an associate professor of Biological Anthropology at the University of Toronto, he investigates the major behavioral and physiological transitions that shaped our species. Bridging diverse fields from primatology to sleep science, his interdisciplinary research has been featured internationally by the BBC, Time, The New York Times, The Smithsonian, CBC, NPR, and National Geographic.Samson is the author of the groundbreaking book "Our Tribal Future: How to Channel Our Foundational Human Instincts into a Force for Good." He provides profound insights into how our primal tribal wiring can be harnessed as a force for unity, not division.Beyond academia, Samson pursues medieval martial arts as a distinguished member of the Society for Creative Anachronism. This gives him first-hand experience in channeling our innate tribal instincts.With his evolutionary expertise and diverse passions, Samson is illuminating new paths to overcome division and channel our tribal nature for the greater good.Key Takeaways:The concept of evolutionary mismatch is introduced, highlighting how humans are adapted for a different environment than the one we currently live in.The power of tribal signals in building trust among strangers is explored, with examples such as secret Masonic signals and sports jerseys.The importance of face-to-face interactions and belonging to smaller, local communities is emphasized as a way to combat the negative effects of tribalism.The Roseto mystery is discussed, where a small town in Pennsylvania had significantly lower rates of heart disease and other diseases of affluence due to their strong social network.The idea of an "identity stack" is introduced, encouraging individuals to be conscious of the proportion of abstract tribes (such as political affiliations) versus face-to-face community tribes they identify with.The concept of coalitions and symbolic connections is explored, including religion, sports, and brands as examples of tribal signals.Key Topics of this Podcast:00:04:27 - Evolutionary anthropology shapes personal perspectives.00:09:09 - Understanding our tribal past and present.00:17:26 - Evolutionary mismatch causes societal challenges.00:21:29 - Tribal signals build trust and identity.00:26:20 - Flexibility in identity and belonging.00:31:06 - Identity is shaped by tribes.00:34:43 - Importance of face-to-face interaction.00:40:07 - The power of intentional community.00:44:51 - Social connection is essential.00:50:09 - Importance of strong social connections.00:55:44 - Building community improves well-being.01:02:37 - Building a community is powerful.01:03:25 - Community is essential for well-being.Connect with David Samson:Twitter: https://twitter.com/Primalprimate?s=20 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/primalprimatologist/?hl=en Website: https://davidrsamson.com/ Connect with This Anthro Life:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thisanthrolife/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thisanthrolife LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-anthro-life-podcast/ This Anthro Life website: https://www.thisanthrolife.org/ Substack blog: https://thisanthrolife.substack.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5168968/advertisement

There are 98 days until the end of the year. How does this fact make you feel? Desperate? Happy? Relieved? Blah? Today I want to give you a practical plan to accomplish your goals in 98 days.  I love countdowns. I feel empowered when I know how much time I have to accomplish a tast. Even if the task takes more than 98 days, I can be assured that my efforts will add up to successfully achieving my goals. What can you accomplish? Think possibilities. Think big. Think brave. Do not shrink in fear. Condition yourself to be confident in the grandeur of your goals.  Think with pen and paper Digitally writing things down may work for you. For me, pen and paper have a finality that the digital screen cannot replicate. I find joy in looking back at my journals and finding goals that are now a reality. I encourage you to go through this exercise with pen and paper.  Start at the end  Answer the question: "What do I want to see, feel, and experience by the end of the year?"  Do you want to diminish your debt? How about establish an exercise habit? How about organize your home? You are allowed to be very specific.  If you want to start running, you may want to say: I want to run three days a week for 30 minutes in 98 days.  I want to pay off the following debts in 98 days...  I want to declutter and organize my linen closet in 98 days.  Your current steps can lead you to your goal. You have to create a path forward.    If the goal is to start running, a path forward looks like: Downloading a couch to 5K App.  Plugging the daily mileage to your calendar. Having tennis shoes and clothes ready to go the night before your run. Take your clothes to work so you can stop by the gym on your way home. Commit to recapping the week to learn, celebrate and tweak anything for the following week A path forward to organizing a linen closet may look like: Committing to a day and time to start working on the closet  Doing laundry  Creating a system for how the closet works  Keeping up with the system when things start to get out of place  A path forward to paying off three debts may be: Finding out the total amounts of the debts Starting with the lowest debt and moving on to the others  Finding a system to continue to practice good financial stewardship  Sign up for a class to learn the next set of skills in money management. I hope you are ready to think about all you will accomplish in 98 days. No step is too small when you are walking in the direction of your goals.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simplycintia/message

One Minute Governance

Last episode I mentioned there are two things that directors tell me most affect their ability to stay engaged. The first was taking breaks. The second, related, factor is physical movement. There's tonnes of research showing a positive relationship between physical exertion and cognitive performance. But physical movement means different things to different people at different times in different contexts. I, for example, am a fidgeter. Pen clicking, leg jiggling, playing with toys, anything. It just makes me feel a bit better. Other people really (really) hate sitting down for extended stretches. I can relate to that, too. Physical activity can also be a bonding experience. I was at an offsite earlier this summer with a client and the board chair organized an afternoon pickleball session (with beverages). It was AWESOME. Another client of mine, when talking through incorporating physical movement into the cadence of their board work, realized that they were all really into yoga. Now they had a potential physical outlet AND bonding opportunity. In a much more mundane sense, just encouraging people to feel free to stand up and stretch, maybe walk around a bit, can really help them to stay comfortable, engaged, and alert. Bonus points if you google “quiet fidget toys” and put out a few bowls of them at your next board meeting.

If you're a regular OMG listener, I'm curious if you've ever wondered why I do the show in seasons. The honest answer is that at a certain point making the show – as fun as it is – starts feeling like a bit of a burden. I'll be honest with you, here we are at the 42nd episode of season 4 and my energy level *really* isn't what it was back in episode 151. But knowing that episode 200 is the start of an indefinite break does two important things. First, it helps me to stay motivated to push through and keep the quality high. Second, the break gives me space to step back and be thoughtful about what to do next, without the pressure of having to put out two more episodes next week. When I talk to directors about the things that most affect their ability to stay engaged and useful, they give me two related answers. The first is that they need regular and generous breaks. It allows them room to digest what they've heard and discussed, while also making sure they don't get bored or distracted or too frustrated. I know our agendas are over-stuffed and it's hard to find time for breaks, but…remember subtraction neglect? The second and related thing is the subject of the next episode. For now, let's take a break.

Before we dive in, let's differentiate between sound and noise. Sound is audible vibrations in the air of any kind – pleasant or unpleasant. Noise is sound you don't want. Think about all the ways that noise and sound can impact conversations and presentations. Zoom board meetings are a perfect microcosm. Just think about it: jittery internet connections, bad microphones, feedback, real-life background stuff that sneaks in, your Bluetooth headphones disconnect. Compare that to the luscious tone of my voice in this pre-recorded podcast with carefully crafted and selected music in the background. In other words, we're dealing with medium, content, technical quality, AND aesthetics here. All of these apply in a physical setting, too. My friend told me about a board meeting in an old hotel where the HVAC system was too loud for participants to hear each other, but it was the only thing keeping the room tolerably warm. How to choose, right? Either you can't hear each other, or you freeze to death. They chose to ask the hotel for blankets. Clever, right? But noise and sound matter in more subtle ways, too. Another friend of mine recently bailed on a meeting because the person next to her was loudly and incessantly snacking on popcorn. I bet you can also think of gatherings you've been to where just a touch of background music transformed the vibe for the better. And I haven't even said anything about the science. For that, check out the Freakonomics Radio episode called Please Get Your Noise Out of My Ears. In the meantime, trust me: sound can be a superpower and noise can be kryptonite.

You all know by now how much I like saying that good governance is intentionally cultivating effective conditions for making decisions. Every time I think about it, I wonder about new conditions that might impact decisions and how they might be cultivated to good (or bad) effect. But there's a flipside to repeating a phrase ad nauseam, which is the risk that the words stick but the meaning disappears. People just say the phrase without thinking about it too deeply, or worrying about the impact they might be having. Corporate governance is *filled* with catchphrases. Maybe the most notorious is ”noses in, fingers out,” and its many variants. I criticized that one – pretty politely – waaay back in episode 13. The reason why “noses in, fingers out” is mostly nonsense is that directors sometimes just use it as a knee-jerk way to shut down conversations they don't want to have, and feel like the popularity of the expression gives them permission to use it whenever they like. But it's mostly just a catchphrase. Substance-free. The “did I do that?” of corporate governance. Another popular one in Canada is “directors owe their primary fiduciary duty to the corporation.” Seriously, next time you hear someone say that one, try asking them, “cool, what does that mean, though?” Bonus points if you have a copy of the Canada Business Corporations Act open next to you to compare their response against the actual law. Sorry, I'm not really trying to encourage you to be pedantic. Instead, think of catchphrases and other shortcuts as a condition to be conscious of, and a prompt to ask a simple follow-up question to make sure you're not skimming over something that's worthy of a deeper look.

Welcome to the final episode in the OMG urgency miniseries. I recently learned about a mindblowing – to me – cognitive bias that I'd never heard of before. It's called subtraction neglect. Check out the HBR article “When subtraction adds value” by Adams, Converse, Hales and Klotz, which is based on their very cool research. If you're more of a podcast person, check out the Less is More episode of Katy Milkman's Choiceology show. Anyway, I'm pretty sure subtraction neglect might be the insidious heart of our urgency problem. In short, it basically means that when facing a challenge, our brains have a really easy time coming up with solutions that ADD stuff, and a very hard time accessing solutions that SUBTRACT stuff. If you're anything like me, you're already going “ohhhh snap! This already FEELS true!” And it is true! When we have a problem, we come up with all kinds of ideas about what we can add to the mix to make things better. The board's feeling overburdened by the pre-reads? Let's add an executive summary. We're struggling to find time to spend on strategy? Let's add an annual offsite. Makes sense, right? The ultra-weird thing about subtraction neglect is that all it takes is a simple suggestion along the lines of “by the way, you're allowed to solve this problem by REMOVING something,” and suddenly we can imagine tonnes of new solutions that just weren't occurring to us before. I won't lead you too hard here, but think back to the board being overburdened by pre-reads, or the struggle to spend time on strategy. Chances are, you've already got some neat ideas about how to improve things through subtraction. And if we solve all our problems by adding stuff, what's the result? Urgency! Well, by the way, you're allowed to solve this problem by removing something.

I had a conversation recently with a great friend of mine who's been on somewhere approaching 3 million different boards. He's really not sold on my whole vibe when it comes to corporate governance, which is fair and totally fine. He explained a key part of his resistance like this: “Matt, when you're in a board meeting all you're thinking about is that Bob's flight leaves at 6:45 and we have 13 complex agenda items to go, so how are we gonna just get through all of this?” Sure, we're back to the whole urgency thing again, and it's super obvious that what my friend described is basically the opposite of effective conditions for making decisions. And this isn't a knock on him at all. Despite the fact that he's unconvinced by me, he's the real deal and then some. And I think he hit on something *hugely* important here. This hypothetical Bob character is a real person with a real life. I know it's sappy, but the first thing that came to mind thinking about Bob was that he just really misses his spouse or family and that the board totally has his back. “Bob's been on the road for two weeks. Let's make sure he gets home on time to take his boo out for a fancy romantic dinner tonight!” And you know what? I'm completely supportive of directors looking out for each other like that. Understanding your peers as full human beings, and being empathetic toward the complexities of their lives and feelings. Hoo boy, that's the stuff of board legend. But if every board meeting has the life crushed out of it because we're cramming through all our important decisions just so Bob can fly to Topeka for his next board meeting. That ain't it, bro. Song recommendation for the sappy version of the Bob story: “Your Side” by the Beths.

Some of you are tuning in to this episode expecting me to solidly dis the concept of regularly scheduled board meetings, and maybe even urge you to reject it. At the risk of disappointing you, I honestly just don't feel that strongly about it. Let's be real, most people have complicated lives with only limited tolerance for spontaneity, especially when it comes to something as fundamentally, um, boring as a board meeting. Having a regular board calendar and cadence matters! In part because it increases the probability that everyone will actually show up. It also adds some structure and predictability around which we can build decisions. Knowing when everyone will be together helps us to plan what information we will share and when, what conversations we need to have at what times, and when we hope to actually, you know, MAKE a decision on a thing. And let's be fair, boards do bust out of their scheduled meeting flow every once in a while, but usually only because of an emergency or some other thing that forces us out of the gravity of routine. I just can't help but wonder whether an extreme deviation from the norm might be kinda cool. Like, what if a board's meeting frequency was something like “we meet once a week virtually for precisely 15 minutes (13 hours per year). These weekly meetings alternate between efficiently ticking some routine compliance box, and creative exploration of some important or zany question. Our quarterly, full-day in-person meetings will be informed by the creative exploration, and mostly free from compliance because that's all been dealt with already.” That's 56 board meetings per year, but actually somehow sounds less burdensome to me than a “normal” quarterly or monthly cadence. I dunno. What do you think?

It's a bit of a mindf… what's a polite way to say that? OK, I just googled it and it there really isn't one. Someone suggested “mindception,” but I think that may be the actual worst word I've ever heard. Anyway, it's a bit of a, ugh, mindception how similar most board agendas are to each other. Not just from one meeting to another, but from one organization to another. Quick aside, if you want a shocking dive into a quagmire of misogyny and racism, check out the Wikipedia entry for “hysteria.” Accordingly, you will notice me deftly avoiding that term in a second. Back to agendas. It's like we've got some mass psychogenic illness that leads us to the false belief that a typical board meeting agenda is actually designed to get us the results we want. But that means that whenever we run over time, or fail to engage in meaningful dialogue, or spend inordinate amounts of time on mundane nonsense, or don't end up hearing from every director, or whatever other not-great thing, that something is wrong with *us*. Because the agenda is totally fine, right? Why else would so many organizations use basically the same agenda for all their board meetings? And yes, a convenient counter-argument would be to blame the board chair. I agree that many chairs have a hard time managing meeting flow. But what if part of the problem is that they're working with shoddy materials? I mean, what's the worst that could happen if you cut the time allocated to presentations by 90%, or scheduled your strategic items at the very beginning of the meeting, or allocated 15 minutes for unstructured dream time? Whatever experiment you try, be sure to try it at least three times before deciding it doesn't work.

There are lots of reasons why boards get fixated on policies and by-laws and other procedural guardrails. One of the most common and, frankly, justifiable reasons is that there's just. so. much. Stuff. To. Do. So much stuff. Even just the list of backward-oriented compliance and oversight tasks seems endless and is *so* time consuming. Most organizations I know wouldn't even permit themselves the privilege of *dreaming* of a board meeting that runs on time, let alone one that built in a bit of wiggle room for something extra. The time crunch is real. Another word for time crunch: “urgency”. So much to do. And even when things seem like they might be getting better, it never lasts. It's like adding a new lane to a highway: we know it's a bandaid, and *SUPER* expensive, but solving the actual problem just feels too hard. I get it. In fact, I decided I need to dedicate the next handful of episodes to stuff that's related to this urgency issue. By the time we get to episode 187, we may actually have identified the real cause of the problem here. You know, like the boardroom urgency version of under-investment in changing driving habits, mass public transit and infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists. Back to the policies and by-laws thing, though: in my experience, boards often feel like having lots of well-defined rules is a good way to make meetings and decisions more efficient. Here's one jerk's opinion: rules that define who should be making what decisions and when: those are your friend. Rules that try to define HOW those people should be making decisions: generally not going to work out the way you think. Real life is just too messy.

You may well have experienced motion sickness or travel sickness in the past. Well, cyber sickness is a modern ailment that follows a similar kind of logic, or rather the opposite logic. Instead of moving while feeling still, like when you're on a boat or in a car, with cyber sickness you perceive movement while you're actually still. But the result is the same: your brain fails to adapt to this dissonance, and hence brings on nausea, dizziness, cold sweats, and other balance disorders. This can happen when using a computer, smartphone, or virtual reality headset. What's the similarity with motion sickness ? Why doesn't it affect all of us then?

I don't think I've said it out loud yet, but the most important theme of season 4 of OMG is that I'm trying to convince you that experimentation is at the heart of good governance. In fact without experimentation - and by extension, creativity – I'm not convinced that good governance is possible. One of the great tragedies of the past two-plus decades of corporate governance trends is how many organizations and governance professionals basically see corporate governance as precisely equal to crafting, deploying and adhering to policies and by-laws. Don't get me wrong, I think it's *really* important to agree on and enshrine important stuff into binding rules. A good and common example is setting a threshold, in dollars, for transactions below which boards will just trust management's judgment. It saves a lot of drama and time. But it's also a good example of a rule that's gonna need to change as an organization grows and shifts. A threshold of $5000 might eventually become $5 million as the scale and materiality of transactions grows. And if we think about cultivating effective conditions for making decisions, this is a great example of a type of rule that can be a tangible illustration of good governance. But if you're the type of person who thinks making decisions about policies and by-laws is the same as good governance, you and I have really different concepts of what effective conditions look and feel like.

Let me talk about Canadian boards for a second. We indoctrinate our boards with the phrase “you owe your primary fiduciary duty to the corporation.” It's factually correct, concise and memorable. Problem is, on its own it's substance-free. Think about it. What the heck does it mean to have a duty to the corporation? Whether you're a Canadian or not, take a second to think about what it means to you. When asked, many people offer that they think it means you are responsible to look after the long-term survival of the corporation. Some people will say its about taking care of the people inside the corporation. Some people say it's about keeping shareholders happy. But if we pause on any of those things it becomes clear pretty quickly that none of them are exactly right. For example, if we had to prioritize the long-term survival of the corporation, then we would never take any big swings that might have big downside, and if we went out of business or sold the company wouldn't that mean that we were in breach of our duty? Anyway, what I'm saying is that understanding the actual spirit and substance of the law matters *a lot* in boardrooms. Not just to make sure we don't mess up too bad, but also to give us clarity about what exactly it is we're supposed to be doing. In the end, even though the law isn't a condition that we can cultivate directly from the boardroom, it is a condition that should inform our cultivation of other conditions. Including the rules that we set voluntarily, which we'll get into in the next episode.

* Sanctification is integrally and intricately entwined with our salvation ... Hence, it is paramount that we first understand what the Bible declares about "Salvation." The Condition of Man: Due to the fall of Adam (Genesis 3) ... All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) ... such that there is none who are seeking after God on their own (Romans 3:10) but that all are seeking their own desires. The Love of God: But God loves His creation mankind (John 3:16) - whom He made in His image and likeness (Genesis 1:26-27) - and He desires for all of them to be delivered from the penalty of their sins and to come to the knowledge of that truth (1 Timothy 2:3-6). That is why He sent His Son to pay for the penalty of the sins of ALL mankind (1 John 2:1-2; 1 John 4:10,14; John 3:16). The Plan of God: Jesus (God the Son) came to earth, grew and was tempted in every way such as we are - yet without sin (Hebrews 4:14-16). As the perfect man, He willingly offered Himself as a sacrifice on our behalf to not only pay the penalty of our sin (Hebrews 9:11-12; Acts 20:28; Titus 2:14), but to also destroy that very sin, on the altar of the cross (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:22-24; 1 John 3:5). But man, in his self-centered sin, is still unable on his own to grasp that great love and the sacrifice that was freely made on their behalf. So, the second part of God's plan was to draw men to Himself. In fact, God's word declares that no one can come to Him unless the Father draws Him (John 6:44). But, God desires all men to be saved, so Jesus also declared, "And if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself." (John 12:32) That drawing is accomplished through the work of the Holy Spirit - by convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. (John 16:7-15) The Decision of Man: Man then has a decision to make when, or as, the Holy Spirit convicts them of their sin, God's righteousness, and the pending judgment. Will they humble themselves and trust in God? Paul was asked plainly, "What must I do to be saved?" and he answered plainly, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved." (Acts 16:30-31) We are told in Romans 10:9-10 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." The Sealing of God: When a man chooses, by faith, to trust in the work of God (John 6:28-29) he is sealed and set-apart by God (Ephesians 1:11-14; 1 Corinthians 1:2) unto His predestined purpose for those who would believe - to be conformed into the likeness of His Son (Romans 8:28-30), beginning the process of restoration - restoring us back to the image and likeness in which He originally created us. The Inheritance of God: When an individual is sealed by God, he is sealed with the Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance (Ephesians 1:13-14). Jesus declared that once an individual was in His, or His Father's hand, there was nothing that could take them out of it (John 10:27-30). Those who truly believe and trust in God for the salvation and are not trusting in their own righteousness, will become fruitful (Matthew 13:23; John 15:1-5) and hold the confession of their faith until the end (Hebrews 3:14). After the individual departs from this life, they are then given an inheritance in heaven which has been reserved for them from the time that they believed in God's plan and trusted in Him for their deliverance (1 Peter 1:3-5). That inheritance includes the completion of our transformation into the image and likeness of Christ (1 John 3:2-3) - this corruptible shall put on incorruption, this mortal shall put on immortality (1 Corinthians 15:50-57)! * God's plan of salvation is a means by which "fallen man" can be reconciled and restored into the fellowship that he had with God in the garden before Adam rebelled and sin entered the world. Both Isaiah and John had a glimpse into the throne-room of God. Both saw the same thing - mighty angels declaring that YHWH is "Holy, Holy, Holy!" "Holiness" is commonly interpreted as "moral purity." However, the Hebrew and Greek terms for "holiness," and being "holy," mean more than that - it refers to that which is set-apart, or separated, for a special, uncommon, or morally pure function. Truly, our understanding of "holiness" is based upon our view of God who is THE MOST HOLY. * In the Bible, we see three "phases" in the sanctification of believers. Each of these phases though, are built upon the understanding of the Holiness of God. * This message was presented on August 20, 2023 by Bob Corbin.

For the first time in OMG history, I scrapped an entire script concept in the crafting of this episode. I had a whole nother narrative here that was about rules and bosses and a bunch of other stuff that, sure, matters to corporate governance, but it just didn't align well with the spirit of our season-long thing about the conditions that affect decisions. So instead, let's remember back to episode 135, called “is everyone in an organization ‘doing' corporate governance?” The argument I made there is basically that corporate governance is the sum total of all of the decisions that happen anywhere in an organization, no matter who's making them. The decisions made on the front lines impact the decisions made at the top and vice versa. Everyone *is* doing corporate governance. That means that good governance matters everywhere, too. Remember the Wells Fargo fake accounts scandal in 2016 – which seems to somehow maybe be back AGAIN as of August 2023? If not, you can take a sec to google it. A lot of people who educate corporate directors use it as an example of a board failure. I always thought that was a bit of a stretch. But it *is* a governance failure. They failed to intentionally cultivate conditions for their sales people and their managers to make effective decisions. And I actually think it's a great exercise for boards and senior executives, from their position at the top of the hierarchy, to wonder about their role in cultivating those conditions. And also wonder how the decisions by those throughout the corporate hierarchy might be affecting conditions in the boardroom. It's foolish to think there's no effect.

In the last episode I tried to encourage you not to fall back on the temptation to use your corporate model as an excuse not to try new things in the boardroom. In my experience, the most common constraint related to corporate structures and models is democracy. And democratic processes are *definitely* a condition that affects decision-making. And let's be honest, it's not likely that we can be too intentional about democratic processes themselves, although we *can* be intentional about other stuff in order to make our democratic constraints less painful. A couple of obvious examples. Let's say you, me, and some random person called Luis are all siblings, and we're board members of a company that our parents built, grew, and still own. Let's also say that our parents are kinda super stubborn and tend to reject any idea that feels weird or different to them. Let's also say that we think the status quo isn't working. Well, we can't change the fact that our parents own and control the company. But you and Luis and I *can* ask ourselves, “what conditions might make our parents feel more comfortable having a fun conversation about what new things we *could* try?” Or maybe the three of us aren't siblings, but instead are board members of a big trade association with a politically complicated membership. Maybe, in fact, the three of us tend to fight a lot in the boardroom because we're protecting the interests of the regions that elected us. It's our democratic model that brought us to this point. Take a step back, though. Scroll through some of the previous episodes in this season. Start writing down some of the conditions you might be intentional about in service of cutting through the political BS and, y'know, cultivating EFFECTIVE conditions…instead of crappy ones.

As we began our exploration of Psalm 51 with genuine repentance of sin, when God's Word exposed David's sin – his eyes were opened. Rather than blame shifting or any excuse making, he felt conviction, he experienced deep contrition, and he confessed his sin to the Lord. David was transformed from a calloused sinner to a penitent man. In Psalm 51:6-9 the prayer of David moves from honest confession to earnest consecration. His desire is to be holy. These verses contain a serious diagnosis of sin along with a heartfelt plea for its only cure: for the Lord to cleanse entirely from sin's stain and consequence. From the heart of this passage beats the prayer, “Wash Me White As Snow." We will focus our attention on two aspects: 1. The Sinner's Condition (5-6), 2. The Sinner's Petition (7-9.)

Psa. 121-1, -The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.- They do not realize that God sees them when they commit sin, and will call them to an account for it. And therefore, if they can hide sin from the eyes of men, they are not concerned, but are bold to commit it. Psa. 94-7, 8, 9, -Yet they say, the Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. Understand, ye brutish among the people- and, ye fools, when will ye be wise-- He that planted the ear, shall he not hear-- He that formed the eye, shall he not see--- Psa. 73-11, -They say, How doth God know-- and is there knowledge in the Most High--- So sottishly unbelieving are they of future things, of heaven and hell, and will commonly run the venture of damnation sooner than be convinced. They are stupidly senseless to the importance of eternal things. How hard to make them believe, and to give them a real conviction, that to be happy to all eternity is better than all other good- and to be miserable for ever under the wrath of God, is worse than all other evil.

If you're anything like me, you're kinda inspired by the idea of good governance as being intentional about all these conditions we're talking about, but you also find yourself mostly doing the same stuff as always. Or at least you find it hard to break the gravity of your habits and routines. In a lot of boardrooms, one of those habits is to fall back on the excuse of your corporate model as a reason not to try new things. “We're a huge listed company, it's just not proper for us to experiment in the boardroom. Or, “we're a not-for-profit organization, we can't ask our volunteer directors to try new things or spend their time in new ways.” Or, “we tried something like this before and our regulator didn't like it, so let's not try it again even if we think it will make our board way more effective. Or whatever. And it's true: your corporate model *is* a condition that affects the way you make decisions. It's also true that every one of those excuses I just gave is both relevant and totally fair enough. BUT, I want to try to convince you that all you need to do here is take those excuses, change the wording a bit, and then suddenly your corporate model becomes a point of curiosity instead of an excuse or constraint. Like this: “We're a huge listed company, how could our shareholders benefit from a bit more experimentation in the boardroom?” or “We're a not-for-profit organization. How could we cultivate better conditions for our volunteer directors to thrive despite time and resource scarcity?” Or “We're really excited to try new things. What would it take for our regulator to be supportive of the stuff we want to try in our boardroom?” Just making excuses and leaving it at that is the opposite of being intentional.

You can probably tell from the last few episodes that I'm on a bit of a Google Scholar binge right now when it comes to OMG. And if you browse through the conditions we've covered so far this season, part of the subtext is that people's moods matter. I definitely don't want to leave you with the impression that you've failed unless everyone feels great all the time. I mean, sure, I think board meetings are altogether too serious for the most part, but that doesn't mean they're not, y'know, work. And hard work at that. Sometimes hard work is just not compatible with a diverse group of people all feeling pumped. But it's obvious how and why mood matters, right? Take anger or sadness or whatever other powerful and ostensibly negative emotion. If just one person in a group gets super angry, the entire vibe changes for everyone. Same thing if just one person starts laughing uncontrollably or gets super excited. Sometimes these moods are something we can and should try to tap into as a group. Sometimes we need to take a break. Most of all, we can be at least a little intentional, hopeful even, about cultivating a specific vibes for different parts of our meeting. Our moods are naturally different sitting with friends with some scotch around a roaring fire compared to, say, a boring lecture in an auditorium classroom. What are the boardroom equivalents? Oh and back to Google Scholar: as far as I could find, the relationship between mood and cognition and leadership is…let's just say complicated. So don't expect to get it right every time.

Jeremiah 2:10-12 — What is the greatest contradiction about humanity? According to Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones in this sermon from Jeremiah 2:10–12 titled “The Condition of the Fallen Man,” it is the fact that people claim to be great rational thinkers, yet they reject God and die in sin. Humanity claims to be enlightened, yet they are slaves to sin. The explanation is that people have rejected God and pursued their own goals in life because they are sinners. A person is not the master of their own fate as they would like to believe, but they are a slave to sin. What then is the answer to humanity's sinful condition? The answer is grace. People can only escape their sin and the judgment that follows it because God has acted in time and history in the person of Jesus Christ. The gospel breaks into a person's foolishness and blindness and gives life. God gives glory and honor in and through Jesus Christ because all that repent of their sins and believe are made children of God, righteous and holy. The sermon calls all to forsake their sins and believe in Jesus who has died so that humanity might live forever.

I even kind of like the smell of skunks because I think skunks are very cute and hilarious, so I get excited when I smell one and sometimes wander around to see if I can find it. Some other people have really negative reactions to smells – both natural and artificial. I did a bit of poking around to see if I could find any research to explain this and the only paper I found that wasn't just based on either tiny samples or self-reporting in surveys was from 2019 in Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, where Basketter, Huggard and Kimber found “adverse health effects arising from fragrance inhalation are uncommon and remain to be identified and confirmed by methodologically rigorous epidemiological investigations supported by a convincing biological and mechanistic basis.” In other words, yeah some people definitely have bad reactions when they smell certain things, there's no reason to believe that the fragrances CAUSE the bad reactions. But that's no reason not to be interested in creating an environment in your boardroom where people feel most comfortable and welcome. What if, and I'm just spitballing here, your board becomes more creative and strategic when the room smells like Cinnabon, and more careful and detail-oriented when the room smells like cedar? What if half of your board members are super bothered by strong smells while the other half gets really stoked when they can wear their favourite fragrances? You'd probably want to know these things, right? And maybe be intentional based on what you learn.
