CommunityWiki do-ocracy definition
A do-ocracy is an organizational structure in which individuals choose roles and tasks for themselves and execute them. Responsibilities attach to people who do the work, rather than elected or selected officials.
If we are a do-ocracy, we should say to ourselves,
whenever we see something that needs to be done,
"If I don't do it, it won't get done".
If you see something, you're likely the first to see it,
in the unique way that you do.
Just because you see it, doesn't mean we all see it too.
So if you see it, you do it, it's done,
and others do too,
most needs get taken care of for everyone.
