Life doesn't move in straight lines, and neither does a good conversation.

I've wanted to see beyond the Western, mechanical view of the world and see what else might appear when the lens was changed

Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.

One of the great errors organizations make is shutting down what is a natural, life-enhancing process-chaos. We are terrified of chaos. As a manager, it signals failure. But if you move out of control and into an appreciation of natural order, you understand that the only way a system changes is when it is far from equilibrium, when it moves from the 'quiet' we treasure and is confronted with the choice to die or reorganize. And you can't reorganize to a higher level unless you risk the perils of the path through chaos.

Disorder can play a critical role in giving birth to new, higher forms of order.

I believe that the capacity that any organization needs is for leadership to appear anywhere it is needed, when it is needed.

Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone
