Late to work... No biggie right?

I remember reading about personality types, specifically the Meyers-Briggs personality types. One type (unfortunately one of the most common types) LOVES RULES. Just for the sake of rules. It's like a security blanket that makes them feel safe. When rules get violated they get [i]extremely[/i] uncomfortable. Even if the rules are totally retarded.

Part of your frame is your fundamental worldview. You argue that things would be better, more effective, everyone would be happier, and they would save money, etc. And you may be right, but what if their frame doesn't think that even matters? Their worldview may be so deathly afraid of "chaos" that following rules for the sake of rules takes absolute priority.

Any reframe has to be at a much deeper level, and it's going to be extremely difficult if it's even possible.

Awesome! Any ideas on how to get someone like this to at least trust me enough to let me do it my way?

What all do you think is involved with their frame, off the top of your head?

Just posted a to my blog about all this:

In the past, tools and machined parts were custom made. One of a kind. Unique. When something broke, or needed replacing, a one off replacement for that unique situation was sourced. You carriage or wheels we likely to be different then you neighbour's.

Then came the industrial revolution, large scale manufacturing, and assembly lines. A factory could now turn out widgets, or carriage wheels in amazing amounts, and every one could be made exactly alike. Your carriage wheels were now the same as your neighbors, or very similar.

Next arose our current state of affairs, large corporations...........
