Organizational psychologist Karl Weick has described the process through which we
shape and structure our realities as a process of enactment. Like Garfinkel’s concept of
accomplishment, Weick’s concept stresses the proactive role that we unconsciously play in
creating our world. Although we often see ourselves as living in a reality with objective
characteristics, life demands much more of us than this. It requires that we take “.” active role in
bringing our realities into being through various interpretive schemes, even though these realities
may then have a habit of imposing themselves on us as “the way things are.”
