The Senior Warden presides over the completion of work; ensures effort is fairly recognized and resources distributed according to contribution and need.
The Lenses
- Intrinsic (Personal):The mental faculty that recognizes value and measures contribution fairly without bias or favoritism.
- Extrinsic (Interpersonal):The authority to make binding decisions about distribution that are accepted because they reflect actual conditions.
- Integrative (Systemic):Systems maintain integrity through fair accounting; when distribution becomes arbitrary, loyalty dissolves.
The ARAA Sequence
Awareness — When to Use This Symbol
When recognition is unclear, distribution feels arbitrary, or people's effort is not being acknowledged.
Reflection — Diagnostic Questions
- What contribution actually occurred?
- How is it being measured?
- Does distribution reflect reality?
Analysis — Failure Modes
- Overuse (Favoritism as Virtue):justifying unequal distribution through perceived loyalty or relationship.
- Underuse (Ignoring Distribution):failing to account for contribution, allowing inequity to fester.
Action — Use It Now
Account for one piece of work; ensure that recognition and distribution reflect actual contribution.
