Listening is a reciprocal process - we become more attentive to others if they have attended to us.

It's not differences that divide us. It's our judgments about each other that do.

Aggression only moves in one direction - it creates more aggression.

We need to move from the leader as hero, to the leader as host.

These days, our senses are bombarded with aggression. We are constantly confronted with global images of unending, escalating war and violence.

A leader these days needs to be a host - one who convenes diversity; who convenes all viewpoints in creative processes where our mutual intelligence can come forth.

We each create our world by what we choose to notice, creating a world of distinction that makes sense to us. We then 'see' the world through the self we have created.
