Why does such accreditation even matter?

Risky power imbalance

When you hold influence over others, you risk hindering their ability to resolve their inflexible needs. The less they can freely resolve their power-impacted needs, the more your legitimacy suffers.

In each power differential...

The problem...

Need-response recognizes you, the powerholder, as an ASCRIBED IMPACTOR. Or "acknowledged impactor" after you admit your influence over the other person.

Need-response recognizes the other person as the REPORTING IMPACTEE. Or "recognized impactee" after both agreeing you hold such potent influence.

As a service of need-response, public exoneration incentivizes each side in a power imbalance to mutually support resolving each other's affected needs. Replacing the norms of adversarialism can both help those you impact to resolve more of their needs and improve your leadership's legitimacy in the process. Simply accept the invite.

Your ascribed versus earned legitimacy

Ascribed legitimacy

based on persuasion

can be manipulated

can be easily lost

Earned legitimacy

based on actual outcomes

can only be earned

can be difficult to lose

Prosecutors’ ascribe legitimacy:

appear tough on crime

Prosecutors’ earn legitimacy:

get tough on the known contributors of crime

show a high conviction rate

high clearance rate of viable innocence claims

appear to improve public safety

enacting safety measures to avoid convicting the innocent

Need-response accredits DA offices which measurably attends equally to the justice needs on both sides in any adjudicated conflict. And denies full accrediting if demonstrating bias toward either side.

Responding to your invitation

If your legitimacy has been impeached from our client, we offer you these three options.

A) Opt out. Let us know that you must decline to participate. However, you will risk our petition to remove any negative impact upon our exposed needs. Learn more...

C) Sponsorships. Measurably improve your responsiveness to the needs you impact, and increase your measurable legitimacy. Learn more...

B) Impeach the impeachers. If you can find any aspect of their challenge to your legitimacy conveyed in bad faith, this impeachment is paused. And potentially negated. Learn more...

Impact parity model

The process levels the playing field. When made an equal in this environment, they can freely address those needs you impact. And then offer you the meaningful opportunity to respond to such needs in ways that demonstrate your successful leadership.

The solution...

While waiting for your reply, our key client suspends their hostile adversarial options. They anticipate you finding greater value in our mutuality process.

The process includes recognized principles for mutually supporting each other's needs. Such as mercy, grace, resilience, empathy, and the like.

Gratitude

The more you show your thankfulness, the more your needs resolve.

Humility

The less arrogant you are toward others, the more your needs resolve.

Honesty

The more others hear you speak truthfully, the more your needs resolve.

Kindness

The more you pleasantly smile and encourage others, the more your needs resolve.

Gentleness

The softer you approach others in need of care, the more your needs resolve.

Grace

The more you show your thankfulness, the more your needs resolve.

Forgiveness

The less arrogant you are toward others, the more your needs resolve.

Forgiveness

The more others hear you speak truthfully, the more your needs resolve.

Mercy

The more you pleasantly smile and encourage others, the more your needs resolve.

Justice

The softer you approach others in need of care, the more your needs resolve.

Endurance

The more you show your thankfulness, the more your needs resolve.

Perseverance

The less arrogant you are toward others, the more your needs resolve.

Discipline

The more others hear you speak truthfully, the more your needs resolve.

Equanimity

The more you pleasantly smile and encourage others, the more your needs resolve.

Resilience

The softer you approach others in need of care, the more your needs resolve.

Patience

The more you show your thankfulness, the more your needs resolve.

Trustworthiness

The less arrogant you are toward others, the more your needs resolve.

Generosity

The more others hear you speak truthfully, the more your needs resolve.

Empathy

The more you pleasantly smile and encourage others, the more your needs resolve.

Love

The softer you approach others in need of care, the more your needs resolve.

We help you improve your legitimacy by incorporating universal moral principles. The more you measurably apply these universal moral principles, the more needs resolve. The more needs you can help resolve, the more trust you earn.

Each of these universal principles are grounded in what anankelogy identifies as objective morality, independent of personal belief or culturally relative norms.

Disciplined need-responsive process

This envisioned formal mutuality process transitions through these four stages.

NOI

MOU

NRA

DOL

NOI: Need-responsive notice of intent, to resolve a need you are identified as impacting.

MOU: Need-responsive memorandum of understanding, to get on the same page to identify and resolve each other's affected needs.

NRA: Need-responsive action, setting the agreeable terms to solve the identified problem by proactively resolving the affected needs.

DOL: Need-responsive declaration of liberty, asserting the priority to properly resolve each other's identified inflexible needs, with you or without you.

Together, we shift from adversarialism norms to mutually supporting each other.

As long as you remain engaged in good faith to help them solve their persisting problem using our mutuality process, they suspend all of their rightful adversarial options.

Improving your need-responsiveness

Need-response asserts the higher legitimate authority of properly resolving needs.

It incentives us to love each other more, by prioritizing each other's intrinsic motivation to honor each other's needs over the extrinsic motivators of imposed law.

Need-response assumes that you will earn more credibility, more trustworthiness, or legitimacy, by working directly with those struggling to resolve a need that you impact in some way. The more you enable them to resolve that persisting need, the more they can, and will, vouch for your earned legitimacy.

Perhaps you did not take our invitation seriously to address your impeached legitimacy. Any lackluster reply sets the baseline. A more timely reply can boost your responsive score.

We nurture each other's responsiveness to needs

We assess your level of responsiveness to our client's vulnerable needs.

Offensive if damaging client.
Substandard if hindering resolution of needs.
Standard if ceasing any harm.
Competitive if responding better than other leaders.
Transformative if altering norms for the better.

We anticipate a low baseline at the start. Then work to improve it.

We translate your responsiveness into vouched legitimacy

We convert your improved responsiveness into earned legitimacy along these 5 points of good faith:

Developing mutual good faith of demonstrated discomfort endurance (over discomfort avoidance).
Developing mutual good faith of engaging relevant specifics (over overgeneralizing).
Developing mutual good faith of demonstrated mutual regard (over mutual defensiveness).
Developing mutual good faith of presenting vulnerable authenticity (over hyperrationality).
Developing mutual good faith of presenting psychosocial balance (over hyper-individuality).

We invite you to equally assess the client and their supporters.

We publicly vouch your improved legitimacy

We provide testimonials from each of the client's key supporters. They publicly vouch your demonstrated credibility when you help the client solve their stubborn problem. E.g., helping the innocence claimant get closer to exoneration from a confirmed wrongful conviction.

Offensive illegitimacy, if harmfully hostile toward the client.
Substandard legitimacy, if found hindering the client's needs.
Standard legitimacy, if ceasing any harm to client.
Competitive legitimacy, if resolving more of client's problem than others.
Transformative legitimacy, if changing norms so that all can more easily solve such a problem.

The more fully needs can resolve, the more problems can clear up. And the more you earn legitimacy.

Earning Legitimacy

As our client finds you dependable, the client and their supporters publicly vouch for your improved legitimacy. From the minimum of ceasing any harm (standard legitimacy) to the optimal legitimacy of helping to resolve more needs (transformative legitimacy).
