Odd Thought: Enabling Personal Responsibility

Sometimes I think there are certain people in charge that naturally are very driven as competitors or as achievers and that these people will often expect others who are having trouble doing basic life tasks to pull themselves up by their boot straps when they may have had their boot straps cut or that the replacement boot straps they have been given by the people in charge are inadequate.

I have a model about the transition from dependency to interdependency. Most people are aware of the need to move from a dependent condition to an independent condition before you can arrive at an interdependent condition. I believe there are some other stages along the way, and adjustments need to be made in how empowerment can be facilitated for persons still on their journey to it.
