Sensemaking is an ongoing act of constructing a reality to be interpreted. While numerous articles have explored the notion of sensemaking in organizations, far fewer have examined it through the empirical prism of an individual case of sensemaking, with the notable exception of Weick’s seminal contribution and formulation, “The Collapse of Sensemaking in Organizations: The Mann Gulch Disaster” (1993). In this article, we seek to build on the literature of sensemaking in organizations by offering an analysis of the actions of former Republican Senator Jeff Flake, whose leadership interventions we interpret as efforts at sensemaking in the era of Trump. In this context, we focus on the US Senate as an organ of sensemaking established by the framers of the Constitution to be relied upon in times of disruption, confusion, and chaos—a check on presidential power established by the framers of the US Constitution to provide prospective sensemaking for uncharted waters. In analyzing the case of Jeff Flake as sense-maker, we rely on certain definitions of leadership embedded in the era of post-truth. We conclude that Flake’s actions may be seen as a distant mirror (to quote Tuchman, 1978) of Weick’s treatment of the storied smokejumper Wag Dodge—a sense-maker whose persuasive powers failed him in the moment, only to be viewed in retrospect as the one who paved the way forward toward survival in the midst of a “cosmological episode.”

“遥远的镜子”:特朗普时代的感官

意识制造是构建要解释的现实的一种持续行为。尽管有许多文章探讨了组织中的意义创造的概念,但很少有人通过一个个案的意义创造的经验视角来研究它,除了韦克的开创性贡献和表述,“组织中的意义创造的崩溃:曼·谷灾难”(1993年)。在本文中,我们通过对前共和党参议员杰夫·弗莱克(Jeff Flake)的行动进行分析,力求在组织中的感性认识文学上建立基础,我们将其干预措施解释为特朗普时代在感性认识方面的努力。在这种情况下,我们着眼于美国参议院,这是由宪法制定者建立的决策机构,在混乱,混乱,混乱-对美国宪法制定者建立的总统权力的一种检查,目的是为未知领域提供未来的意义。在分析杰夫·弗莱克(Jeff Flake)作为理性制造者的案例时,我们依赖于后真理时代嵌入的某些领导定义。我们得出的结论是,弗莱克的举动可以被看作是韦克对待传奇的跳烟者瓦格·道奇(Wag Dodge)的一种遥远的镜子(引用图赫曼,1978年),后者是一个感性的制造者,其说服力使他此刻不起作用,但回想起来,它只能看作是一位在“宇宙学事件”中为生存铺平了道路的人。我们依赖于后真相时代中嵌入的某些领导定义。我们得出的结论是,弗莱克的举动可以被看作是韦克对待传奇的跳烟者瓦格·道奇(Wag Dodge)的一种遥远的镜子(引用图赫曼,1978年),后者是一个感性的制造者,其说服力使他此刻不起作用,但回想起来,它只能看作是一位在“宇宙学事件”中为生存铺平了道路的人。我们依赖于后真相时代中嵌入的某些领导定义。我们得出的结论是,弗莱克的举动可以被看作是韦克对待传奇的跳烟者瓦格·道奇(Wag Dodge)的一种遥远的镜子(引用图赫曼,1978年),后者是一个感性的制造者,其说服力使他此刻不起作用,但回想起来,它只能看作是一位在“宇宙学事件”中为生存铺平了道路的人。
