U-Scores of Germany and Italy

 

To evaluate Alexander the Great according to the U-Model principles, we must consider his historical context and the extent to which his actions and leadership align with the three key areas of the U-Model: Refusal to Harm (Code), Organizational Benefit (Credo), and Correctness of Expectations (Rights).

Refusal to Harm (Code)

1. No Envy, No Theft, No Lie: Alexander displayed considerable ambition and a drive to conquer, often at the expense of others. While not explicitly stealing, conquest inherently involves taking possession of others' territories.

   • Score: 30% 😡

2. No Anger, No Initiation of Force, Loyalty: Alexander was known for his loyalty to his companions and soldiers, though his campaigns involved the initiation of force as a means of empire-building.

   • Score: 40% 😠

3. Continuous Learning and Knowledge Sharing: He encouraged the spread of Greek culture and knowledge, significantly influencing the areas he conquered.

   • Score: 70% 😊

4. My Goals are Higher than My Needs: Alexander pursued goals far beyond personal needs, aiming at creating a vast empire and cultural amalgamation.

   • Score: 80% 🤩

5. Transparency and Accountability: There are limited accounts of his governance practices in terms of transparency, but he was accountable to his men and mission.

   • Score: 50% 🤔

Organizational Benefit (Credo)

1. Long-term Objectives: His vision of a blended empire influenced long-term regional interactions.

   • Score: 90% 😇

2. Efficiency, Productivity and Citizen Service: His rule brought Greek administration and culture, improving some regions' infrastructure and governance.

   • Score: 75% 🤩

3. Meeting Employee Expectations: Alexander was known to maintain strong loyalty among his troops, often meeting their needs effectively.

   • Score: 80% 🤩

4. Innovation: He was innovative in military tactics and governance, blending cultures of the conquered territories with Greek culture.

   • Score: 85% 😇

5. Public Health Protection: There is little direct evidence of public health initiatives during his conquests.

   • Score: 30% 😡

Correctness of Expectations (Rights)

1. Right to a Healthy and Safe Work Environment: His soldiers faced significant risks typical of military campaigns.

   • Score: 20% 🧟‍♂️

2. Right to Personal Respect: As a leader, Alexander respected the aristocracies of the regions he conquered but often disregarded the common populace.

   • Score: 50% 🤔

3. Right to Fair and Equal Treatment (Equity): Alexander attempted to integrate different cultures, although his methods were sometimes harsh.

   • Score: 40% 😠

4. Right to Continued Education and Training: He spread Hellenistic education and culture, which was a form of intellectual enrichment.

   • Score: 70% 😊

5. Right to Work-Life Balance: This was largely irrelevant in his context, as his campaigns were life-consuming for him and his soldiers.

   • Score: 10% 💀

Averages and Overall U-Score

• Code Average: 54%
