When these two approaches to time (M-Time & P-Time) are contrasted, one gets a sense of the cultural influences that infuse these two approaches. The M-Time obsession with structure and protocols as seen in military organizations for example speaks to how people can be "bent" into submission through the use of trauma based mind control. It also interesting how M-Time influences people through superficial methods of marketing and hype. People are asked to believe in something or someone without knowing what is really going on.
In P-Time things certainly take longer. Deliberation is more thorough. People first must get to know one another. Trust is earned through face time interactions or at least through genuine communication mediated by technology. In P-Time ribbons, metals and trophies will not due. Work and careers develop people in emotionally tangible & significant ways. Cryptocurrency and open source software are examples of P-Time labor.
B-Corps, some charter schools and worker owned co-operatives are examples of P-Time organizations. C-corps, S-corps and military departments are some examples of P-time organizations. Although both are necessary, the prevalence of P-Time organizations on this planet has probably led to an excessive amount of trauma.
In P-time people are obsessed with outcomes and are usually attached to a certain outcome in pretty much all of their affairs. In M-time there is more of an emphasis in doing one's best and following one's excitement. Outcomes are still important, but they are not the priority.
