Abundance

| Rules | Everything is forbidden unless it is permitted. | Everything is permitted unless it is forbidden. |
| Social model | Paternalism ("We know what's best") | Egalitarianism ("You know what's best") |
| Profit plan | Business model | We'll figure it out |
| Decision process | Top-down | Bottom-up |
| Organizational structure | Command and control | Out of control |
Graph from Tech is too cheap to meter: It's time to manage for abundance, not scarcity
Which mentality is prevalent in your organisation?
Some examples I can think of in ISKCON:
- Dandavats.com editorial policy vs Planet ISKCON editorial policy
- The title of the book "According to Religious Principles" vs the Gita verse "Not contrary to religious principles"
- The communication policy of the ISKCON Constitution Committee (or practically any GBC subcommittee)
