Category: 05 AVP

I see the Hierophant as the first encounter with a conformist social structure. The classic seems to be a pontiff keeping order in the church.

AVP (assistant Vice President) seems to be, in many organizations, a token role. Becoming an AVP indicates some additional burden of risk, and little additional power. Certainly, there is little additional control over themselves and the ability to go their own path. This leaves the AVP in a position of having to play the game, fit into the corporate structure, conform. To “buck the system” would risk the not being a team player, and the uncertainty of future success. This is similar to the Eriksonian crisis Autonomy vs Doubt and Shame
