Independence is a political concept, not a biological concept.

Power is the capacity to generate relationships.

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!

Ask what's possible, not what's wrong. Keep asking.

we can't be creative if we refuse to be confused. Change always starts with confusion; cherished interpretations must dissolve to make way for what's new. Great ideas and inventions miraculously appear in the space of not knowing.

There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.

Power in organizations is the capacity generated by relationships. It is an energy that comes into existence through relationships.
