诺曼·麦克莱恩的《年轻人与火》中著名的曼恩峡谷火灾中13人的死亡，被分析为一个最小组织中角色结构和意义建构的相互解体。作者提出了四种潜在的复原力来源，使群体不那么容易受到意义制造中断的影响，以防止解体，包括即兴创作、虚拟角色系统、智慧的态度和尊重互动的规范。然后，该分析被嵌入到组织文献中，以表明我们需要重新审视我们对临时系统、结构、非公开的亲密关系、群体间动态和团队建设的思考。
The death of 13 men in the Mann Gulch fire disaster, made famous in Norman Maclean's Young Men and Fire, is analyzed as the interactive disintegration of role structure and sensemaking in a minimal organization. Four potential sources of resilience that make groups less vulnerable to disruptions of sensemaking are proposed to forestall disintegration, including improvisation, virtual role systems, the attitude of wisdom, and norms of respectful interaction. The analysis is then embedded in the organizational literature to show that we need to reexamine our thinking about temporary systems, structuration, nondisclosive intimacy, intergroup dynamics, and team building.
