ABSTRACT
The consultant who looks at an organization from a Zeus perspective will focus on the way the directives of the chief executive get to be put into action. One of the biggest downside effects of a Zeus organization is the manner in which information is handled, or not handled. The typical Hera organization is the family company, where the image of the family shapes the way the organization thinks and talks about itself. The British royal family is an organization that upholds Hera values. In the Hera organization, there is a lot of attention given to honor and morality. The organization whose culture is dominated by Apollo will place a high value on a rational approach to its operations. The Apollonine fantasy of 'scientific management' was voiced most strongly and most influentially by Frederick Taylor. Apollo organizations have a great deal in common with organizations dedicated to scientist-god, Prometheus.
