How social innovation can lead to technological breakthroughs
The proudest moment of my professional career happened almost a year ago. A female member of our production team came to me and said that they had found a way of improving the industry standard for cleaning processes by the factor of 9 in terms of efficiency and sustainability. I have been in my position for long enough to know, that my colleagues can be very serious at times and - funny - the first question that came to my mind was "why?". A rather stupid question, I know, but I really wanted to know why she did it before I even knew any details. And her answer was as terse an one can imagine: "it's better!". Half a year later we became the only second B Corporation worldwide from the paint industry. We are today - to our knowledge - the only CO2-neutral paint manufacturer in the world when measuring scope 1, 2 and part-3. Hopefully there are others, but we are definitely just a few. I think we are the only ones in the world that provide industrial-use-type of wood coatings with a content of regrowing raw materials of over 95%, striving to make them net-negative. That made me think how we, a team of 42 employees and a mildly gifted boss, actually got there: we and not the multinationals that dominate our industry would be invited for environment research, implement new technologies before the multinationals do and drive climate-friendly manufacturing to a new level. To a point where an employee out of her feeling that the process is bad would work for 6 months with her colleagues to find an environment-friendly alternative, spend hours of her spare time for research and then come back after she had made sure that the thing she invented works just fine. I think, the former might be closely related to the latter. Having thought about it for a while now I now know that this did not happen by mastermin-design nor by a well thought through strategy or excellent managerial decisions. For us it happened because of four factors: The area we are located inThe people we hire (and fire)Having a purpose but not a religionThe dynamics of all three together The area we are located in I know it sounds odd, but there is something to the countryside that I have found very hard to replicate in metropolitan areas. The people that were born and raised here (or moved to Kipfenberg a long time ago) have an attitude around them that makes it totally natural not to waste food, eat small for dinner and always pick up your waste from the street. I have owned a few companies in metropolitan areas like Munich and that type of deeply engrained behavior: stuff you don't have to educate because everybody knows from home. We have always been a company that cared about environment-friendly products and manufacturing, but that goal has to see fit in the people that want to attain it. And the combination of sustainable products and people from a natural reserve park are a perfect match. The people we hire (and fire) Oh terrible all those books... the seven (nine, twelve) habits of industry leaders, how to make your company great (again) and so on. We never believed in this type of counseling books. But one thing was totally true for us. It is 100% about the people that are grouped together in a tight spot, every day. It makes a complete difference if you love to go for work or you have to. Over the years we have developed our "criteria to hire" in written (happy to share if anyone is interested) and followed the basic principle that every employee has a veto for hiring anybody in any position - a power that has not been used by a colleague at least for the last five years. Equally important: the people we fire. We don't fire very often (because we have actually gotten much better in hiring) but we fire for one reason and one reason alone: if somebody cannot stand the idea that we are peers and have to trust each other. I don't mean arguments or discussions, not even the occasional fights over who's job it is to get coffee from the supermarket. I mean situations where someone is led to believe that he is in some way intellectually or morally superior to his or her colleagues. We once found a leading manager treat employees not with respect, badmouthing a refugee from Syria that we had hired, and it took us 5 minutes to part ways. As a close friend of mine used to say: hire slow, fire fast. But hire much more often than you fire. Having a purpose but not a religion There is a lot of literature about companies that find their WHY being more successful than the technocratic, product driven competitors. Simon Sinek has made a living from educating people that purpose really matters. Just I find that there are two things wrong with that. For once, it seems that this type of what one could call purpose-driven marketing thing has spun out of control for too many companies. It has become a marketing-wash instead of a meaningful thing. Not a company that does not claim, it is particularly sustainable and encourages customers to consume more with an even better conscience. I think the environmental problems man is facing on earth are not going away by maintaining our lifestyle of consumption - just reducing sugar and plastics and all will be fine. It doesn't work this way. The second thing that strikes me as wrong with the propose-inflation is that many companies treat their values as a religion. I know more than one company that would not allow their employees to openly use products from competitors. Quick self check for executives: what do you say when an employee brings a competitor's product to work? The dynamics of all three together In my opinion, the dynamics of people and their motives makes all the difference. It is common wisdom that the "vertical" relationship between the company and the employees is governed directly or indirectly by the top management; and the horizontal relationships in a company (i.e. between employees) is governed by the individual skills of the people. I actually think now, that it is quite the other way round. The vertical relationship, that is where purpose comes into play. Do we all believe in the things to be our goal? Do we have common principles that we as a company want to follow? My opinion is that top management should (apart from being organizers of the discussion of such things) stay out of the way. We found our formal purpose and story in a series of workshops with employees from all departments and levels. Some were more capable of formulating their views and visions than others, but one thing was blindingly obvious: all workshops that went without top management participation were the most fruitful and successful of all. We, for example, have defined a clear WHY a couple of years ago (We'd like to make the world more beautiful and better), have a couple of HOW's that we do (regrowing raw materials, a continuous product development, regional sourcing, etc.) and that's how we make our products and conduct research. You could call this our "purpose" but it is far from a religious understanding of the world, it's actually quite pragmatic. This type of purpose is carried by all of our employees and it is carried with much less problems then a huge "we are the best in XY" purpose, because it needs no explanation. Guidelines that are totally clear and self-explaining are much easier to follow. This is the vertical part that determines the relationship of employees with the company. The horizontal relationship of people within the company is where in my opinion top management has the greatest impact of all. I for sure am not the brightest kid in town, I have reasonable financial skills but that is about it. The only thing I was clear about from the beginning of my career was that there are two things that I want from life: people I like around meit should not feel like I'm wasting my time Assuming that most other people feel the same, we devised some very clear rules for ourselves in the management team: We will never hire people that we don't like because they are so good in whatever... culture eats skills for breakfast.There is no such thing as a "direct report" in our organization. Actually nobody is supposed to report anything to anybody. We are not slaves, we have a task and it totally makes sense to propagate information through an organization. Not as report, but as a question, a comment, an idea or a seeking of opinion. Seriously, it's much easier than you might think and it works perfectly.Feed-back is (quite) instantaneous or never. We as managers collect strengths and weaknesses over the year and then - one day in late December - we spit it all out and spoil every meaningful discussion about it by having to talk about a pay raise moments later? Doomed to fail. And me personally on the other hand, I actually don't like being criticized months after something happened I can only faintly remember. How to discuss that in a meaningful way. Impossible! So it's fairly quickly or never. Both ways.No gain - no blame. The hardest part, especially for top managers: nobody claims a victory for himself. When we brag about ourselves, we say how invaluable the help of the colleague was in achieving this and that goal. NEVER EVER would you hear somebody in our company say "I have accomplished...". This is quite an exciting experiment that you should consider doing as an executive: the moment you stop to take credit for yourself, you will stop putting blame on others. And eventually all the others will do it as you do. The result is a super relaxed working environment. Available without expensive consultants and incentives. I don't know the psychological mechanism behind it, but I can assure you that it works. We have been doing this kind of "responsible collaboration" for five years now: we haven't fired more people than normal, our profits are strong. Had it been a strategic masterplan, I'd say it was a success. I'm not saying that our organization model is universally good; it just happens to work for us. But I'd be tempted to say that it is worth a try. And the subversive part is: even if you are not the CEO of the company, you can do it still secretly in your own department or group. It works without talking about it. So we accidentally became environmental innovators by being social innovators. And that in a broader sense could actually work for others as well.

Ancient Greece (Part 15): Decline and Recovery (c.1150 - 900 BC)
The strongest evidence for Greek decline after 1200 BC is that there are almost no expensive, finely-made artifacts in the archaeological record. However, painted pottery from after this date is still relatively abundant, it is used to follow Greece's decline & recovery. The Dark age periods are named after the stages of pottery shapes & ornamentation. The Greeks continued to take the art of pottery & painting vases very seriously, which is very helpful for us.
Submycenaean Period
The pottery from c.1125 – c.1050 BC is called Submycenaean. This is because it is still in the Mycenaean style, but the quality is far lower. This historical period was the aftermath of the attacks, and the low point of the Dark Age.
The Submycenaean pottery style has been called a “style of exhaustion”. The potters used very few of the wide array of shapes & decorative elements that their ancestors had used. The clay is often poorly-prepared; the vessels are smaller, less well-formed, and poorly-fired. The traditional motifs and decorations are rather clumsy.
Submycenaean octopus jar.
These vases are nothing in comparison to those of the 1200's, but they are the main wealth of Submycenaean graves. Nothing else valuable was buried with people, except for occasionally a gold ring or bronze dress pin. Even the pottery itself wasn't abundant in burials. For example, 220 graves in Athens & Salamis had only 160 vases between them, and these places were not destroyed or abandoned.
Population levels had dropped dramatically all across the Greek world. Estimates vary (according to region) from 60-90% decrease. Melos (an Aegean island) was heavily-populated in the Late Bronze Age, but for the 200yrs seems to have been nearly empty. Even in Attica, a region that was not successfully invaded, the number of settlements dropped by 50%. At the end of the 1000's [century, i.e. near 900 BC], the population in Greece was probably the lowest it had been for a millennium.
This population decrease seems to have been connected to the collapse of the redistributive economic system, and the general economic lag in Greece at the beginning of the Dark Age. Large movements of people would have caused unstable conditions, and were often accompanied by violence. This would also have contributed to the population decline.
However, it is important to remember that migration/relocation can give an exaggerated impression of population decline. Some of the smaller Bronze Age settlements were deserted because the people simply moved elsewhere, where it was safer. Tiryns' population actually increased after 1200, because of refugees. Also, a lot of people fled to Achaea and Arcadia, and other more lightly-populated regions. Others went overseas.
The centralized political/economic organization had disappeared with the palaces. The powerful wanax and his subordinates – officials, scribes, workers – who supported the redistributive system were gone. Within a few generations, almost all knowledge of them had disappeared. There was only the memory of great legendary warrior-chiefs, powerful rulers of large, prosperous kingdoms, who had been better men than their descendants in every way.
But Greece still hadn't collapsed into a completely primitive state. Daily life for the ordinary people, at the household & village level, continued on as before. The people grew wheat, barley, olives, figs and grapes. They herded sheep, and spun & wove their wool & flax, with the same equipment & techniques as before.
The potters, carpenter-builderss, metalworkers and weavers all kept their basic technical knowledge, too. There was no longer demand for fancy goods or fresco paintings, which had disappeared with the palaces – central manufacturing, storage and distribution were no longer in place, along with luxury goods, trade, and tax collectors. But the usual agricultural life continued on.
In the same way, religion during the Dark Age both continued and changed. 6-7 of the later 12 Olympian gods are found in the Linear B tablets, so these survived through the Dark Age. However, many other gods named in the tablets didn't survive – for example, “Drimios, son of Zeus” and “Dia”, a feminine form of Zeus, probably his consort.
Worshipping & placating the gods through prayer, sacrifice & gifts went on much the same as usual. However, worship was no longer centred on the palaces, but was spread out among the villages. Many of cults & festivals for certain gods developed during this time.
People's beliefs of the gods' personalities also probably changed. Many of the mythoi (stories) about gods & heroes that form the base of later literature & art originated in the 1300's & 1200's, and survived mostly intact through the Dark Age. However, others were probably made up or borrowed from the East during this time.
When the material culture was at its lowest point, signs of recovery began to appear. From around 1050 BC (end of the Submycenaean periods) different dialect groups from the mainland began migrating to the Aegean islands & the coast of Asia Minor. The Ionians were Achaean refugees from the Peloponnese, fleeing first to Attica to escape the Dorians, and later moving across the Aegean to the Asian Minor coast.
Dorians also migrated, taking over the southern Aegean islands, and the southwest coast of Asia Minor. For the first time in history, a permanent Greek presence was created in Asia Minor. Because of this, one day the Aegean Sea would be known as the “Greek Sea”.
Also at this time, the Greeks learned & mastered the difficult process of smelting & working iron. Iron was better for weapons & tools, as it is harder and keeps an edge better. Greece is rich in iron ore, and the knowledge of how to use it had been known for a long time in the East. But the Greeks had preferred to import copper & tin (which were rarely found in Greece) from abroad, to make bronze. Now the sources for this were cut off, so they turned to iron. From 1050 onwards, small local iron industries sprang up all across the mainland and on the islands. By 950, most of the weapons would be made of iron, not bronze.
Protogeometric (1050-900)
This new style of pottery began around 1050, apparently originating in Attica, and spreading quickly to other regions. It is still similar to the Submycenaean style, but there are differences. The vases are now better-proportioned, slimmer, and less squat. New varieties of shapes have appeared. The Submycenaean shapes of horizontal lines & bands, arcs, half-circles and concentric circles are now criply-drawn, and fit the vase shapes better. The overall effect is of balance, order and symmetry.
One reason for this was that techniques had advanced. A faster pottery wheel had been developed, so the vase shapes could be improved. Lines & circles were no longer drawn freehand – a ruler was used for lines, and a multiple brush compass was invented for circles (several brushes on a single arm, which was attached to a pair of dividers). They prepared the clay better, and firing it at a higher temperature made the glaze more lustrous.
Early Protogeometric amphora.
Around 1000 BC, the population began to slowly increase. However, by the end of the Protogeometric period, it was still quite low, and the number of settlements had increased only slightly.
A “prominent” site was one that had over 200 people. The smaller sites were hamlets containing a few families, 20-40 people. Many of these sites had originally been the flourishing towns & villages of the Late Bronze Age, then wre abandoned in the 1100's and left totally/mostly abandoned. During the Protogeometric period, they were reinhabited on a smaller scale.
A few major settlements (e.g. Athens & Corinth) may have had populations of 1000 or more at this time, but because they were continuously inhabited and built over, there's no way to tell without destroying existing modern and Classical-era structures.
Recovery was slow, and the speed varied depending on the region, but it was steady. Abandoned Mycenaean villages were reinhabited, and small new settlements appeared. Communication improved within Greece, and with the East. Foreign trade, which had nearly completely halted at the end of the 1100's [i.e. just before 1000] resumed at reduced levels. By the end of the 900's, major migrations of people within and into Greece had slowed down. Greece had achieved a level of stability that it hadn't had since before the Dark Age. By 900, they were on the threshold of a new era.
