The origin, as far as I know it. I think it still holds, is insightful, as a general case. Let it heal seems pretty close to what Joe was getting at.

>>This organization corresponds nicely to a idealized human organization of bosses and workers - bosses say what is to be done, workers do stuff. Bosses do quality control and check that things get done, if not they fire people re-organize and tell other people to do the stuff. If they fail (the bosses) they get sacked etc. <<note I said, idealized organization, usually if projects fail the bosses get promoted and given more workers for their next project>>

We miss you Joe :)

He was one of my favorite humans; the few emails I exchanged with him were funny and insightful.
