We are wired for coordination in complexity.
Across millennia, survival has often depended on small groups acting in fluid, high-risk situations. There were no org charts. No quarterly plans. No approval gates.
Coordination emerged through shared intent, trust, and constant adjustment. Formal hierarchies came later, as societies scaled.
They are a powerful tool, but it is not our only one.
In times of volatility and change, humans revert to older patterns of coordination: looking sideways, not upwards. We sense the environment, interpret cues, and act in ways that align with shared principles.
This is Constellation Leadership.
