For me, this is a familiar image - people in the organization ready and willing to do good work, wanting to contribute their ideas, ready to take responsibility, and leaders holding them back, insisting that they wait for decisions or instructions

We experience problem-solving sessions as war zones, we view competing ideas as enemies, and we use problems as weapons to blame and defeat opposition forces. No wonder we can't come up with real lasting solutions!

For eons, humans have struggled to find less destructive ways of living together.

For us, someone who is willing to step forward and help is much more courageous than someone who is merely fulfilling the role.

Aggression is the most common behavior used by many organizations, a nearly invisible medium that influences all decisions and actions.

Space is the basic ingredient of the universe; there is more of it than anything else.

Surrendering to life offers some wonderful realizations. We learn we're capable of being in this dance, of working with whatever happens. We learn to trust ourselves and then others and, gradually, we learn that life itself can be trusted.
