15 Levels of Capability

16 Ex. A branch manager of a local bank Symbolic verbal order of complexity Well, I ve changed our internal organization I started to introduce pro-active appointments with clients, since, you know, the good times are behind us and there is no benefit in applying an attitude like wait and see. We now take more initiatives to approach the clients Our clients show much appreciation for this attitude. Ad I now need to demonstrate the changes in products. We also have a better overview now; we are working in a structured way, which allows us to plan for concrete appointments Pro-active means: appointment planning, and doing this on a continuous basis. We also focus on certain products, example investments

17 Ex. Mr. President Reagan: I have a plan. Not a secret plan. As a matter of fact it is the economic recovery program that we presented when I took office in It is true that earlier, working with some very prominent economists, I had come up, during the campaign, with an economic program that I thought could rectify the great problems confronting us: double digit inflation, the high tax rates that I think were hurting the economy, the stagflation that we were undergoing Conceptual-abstract order of complexity Before even the Election Day, something of that none of these economists even had predicted had happened, that the economy was so worsened that I was openly saying that we had thought the basis of our plan could have brought a balanced budget; that was no longer possible. So the plan that we have had, and that we were following, is a plan that is based on growth of the economy, recovery without inflation an reducing the share that the Government is taking from the gross national product, which has become a drag on the economy. Already we have a recovery that has been going on for about 21 months, to the point that we can call it an expansion. Under that, this year, we have seen a 21 billion reduction in the deficit from last year, based mainly on the increased revenues the government is getting without raising taxes.

18 Capability Reagans argument relied on a variety of abstract ideas, including inflation, economic stagnation, and growth, the gross national product etc. Some terms can be both abstract and concrete, and it is important to consider both context and usage. If for example inflation is used only to describe an increase in prices the colloquial sense- it is merely a category of concrete phenomena. When inflation refers to both rising prices and their economic causes for example an increasing government budget and trade deficit paid for by an increased and devalued money supply- it becomes an abstraction In fact, conceptual abstractions are the common currency of Presidential Campaigns (in the US) Two different Capability levels in action. One of a very effective Branch manager of a small bank, and the second one of a Branch Manager of a big Nation.
