X : Your phases of doctrine, are they like a maturity model?
Me : No. The doctrine is just a collection of principles (those universally useful patterns). The principles are ways of thinking i.e. "do we think about this". It's about questionining what we do.

X : Why phases then?
Me : You can map the principles and some are built on others. Hence I've organised them into phases.
X : Is there a phase V?
Me : I suspect so.

Me : I suspect so.
X : Any hints?
Me : Phase V? Not really but I can point you in a direction of where it might be heading.
X : Which is?
Me : Leaderless organisations.

X : Holacracy?
Me : Well, if the doctrine is all in place (and I mean all of it) then yes, that's the rough direction I suspect we will go or more importantly will emerge.

X : Do you mean no managers, no execs, no board?
Me : Yes. I think it's both possible but also unstoppable. It's also needs to be grown through the implementation of principles.

X : Any examples?
Me : Not really but there are pointers in this direction e.g. murmurations such as masks4all, gamestop etc. Think of companies as murmurations, as swarms of people. I suspect that is where we are heading.

X : Gov?
Me : Do you mean Government by swarms with no leaders?
X : That couldn't work.
Me : Oh, I beg to disagree. I think it's also why we spend so long trying to "educate" people that anarchy is so dangerous and that we need leaders. GameStop, Masks4All, ESL say otherwise.

Anarchy doesn't mean no rules, no structure, no governance. It just means no governing body, no leaders - as in leadership is everyone. We are certainly taught from a young age that this is a dangerous idea, that we need leaders or we will turn into rampaging mobs ...
... but that's by a system which wants to perpetuate itself. As a counter we're seeing examples of murmurations of people appear with some basic principles and without any leadership. These have become quite effective organisations. This raises questions.
