Therefore, to manage a system, a macromanager begins by evaluating the potential of different elements of the system to determine the most appropriate route. Then, instead of driving toward objectives or impeding anomalies, he works on the metasystem, rules, potential coefficients, categorizations, information architectures, etc.
After a while, the system naturally and spontaneously proceeds to well-defined aims with a selected pace. Because it is spontaneous, opposing the system seems to be an irregular manner. Meanwhile, because of the naturality of the mentioned process, no one would consider the presence of macromanager...
