The Graves Model Explained by Example - Level 1 The Horde

On which Graves level are people, societies or companies? What are their predominant values and what distinguishes them? Bettina answers these and other questions in the eight-part series that expands on the article "The Graves Model". After all, the better we know the systems that exist within us and those that affect us, the easier it will be to live together in our world.

Here, at the first level - referred to as "The Horde" or in colors the "Beige Level" - are laid out the absolute basic needs of every human being. Food, water, warmth, sex, and safety have priority, and these needs must be met before the focus on other issues is even possible. When hordes or gangs form on this plane of existence, the struggle for survival is at the center of the association. Group ties are very loose here.

Key Concepts / Values: Survival, sensory perception at all sensory levels.

Character: highly developed senses & instincts, lives in the present, amoral, no conscious decisions

Occurrence: In early human societies, newborns, senile elderly, late stage Alzheimer's patients, confused homeless, starving masses, and blast shock victims. Not a common form of business and leadership.

Dominant topics: How am I protected here, what is the building and the rooms like? How are the facilities, how is the room temperature, how is the catering regulated?

All Graves levels at a glance

There are three types or reasons when this level is lived

1. One is forced into this by the circumstances of life

This is exactly the case for a large part of the world's population. Wherever there are wars, the danger of a collective regression to beige is indicated. But even after that, the traumas suffered (shock, abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder) ensure that people are almost unable to develop out of this status. People addicted to drugs and alcohol are also at this stage.

However, regression can also be triggered by a degenerative disease, such as Alzheimer's. Patients gradually degenerate until they can barely recognize their surroundings.

2. Human development - the baby in the first year of life.

3. Consciously seek this level. For example, with extreme athletes.

In all three cases, the entire existence is reduced to the sensory experience. The here and now is important. In dealing with people at this level, security is of central importance.

In the corporate environment, one probably encounters beige less. Nevertheless, knowledge of basic needs is very important. Anyone who has experienced an office renovation or relocation knows the questions that are asked by the staff regarding the new facilities. The dominant issues are again: where are the toilets, where can I get food, what is the room temperature, where is my workplace? Everything is focused on the basic needs, because, and I repeat myself, these must be covered before the focus on other issues becomes possible at all.
