John in Haiti

[Elena A. Marchuk]

Yes, Joelle,

you just came to the point!
It is very hard. To learn democratic through all we have in our heart and
minds about autoritarian leadership.
also the every year change of presidents of the club - everybody thinks they
are a good leader, but when he/she became a president - something happens,
no things move, no people "listen" and nobody do anything.... so it is hard
for some people to understand, that an organization with volonteers needs
different approach, democratic one, but still effective for projects we have
to do....

good luck to you and your husband and to all who tries to do democracy in
Rotary or other organizations.

best wishes

Hi,
my name is Matthias Freitag. I am a psychologist working in the field
of organizational development and research, mainly in small and
medium-sized enterprises in Saxony, Germany.

I came across OS two years ago, when Harrison Owen held a training in
Berlin.

Currently we are compiling a volume on "new methods in organizational
research", which will be published (in German language) in autumn 2001.

Can you think of OS being used as a research tool in organizational
research? Do you know any cases, resources or publications?
What do you think are the pro´s and con´s?
best wishes,
Matthias Freitag
