Jack said, I recently played with the descriptive tone and intention of the
principles and law language a bit: When people feel free to talk about what
matters most to them, they will; When the right people feel free to join the
conversation, they will; When people feel free to do whatever they can, they
will; When people feel free to move on to new conversations, they will.
I like what Jack has said here because providing a state of when people
feel free is our job as facilitators.
To achieve that state we use the 4 Principles and 1 Law. Doing so allows the
free state to be quickly and effectively entered into. For me it is a
simple matter of following each with a quick story of how conventional
activity is opposite them and what that feels like. Bam! Done! Free state
created!!
Harrison I totally agree self organization is always about PEOPLE, but I
submit it only works when people assemble out of passion for the issue at
hand i.e., Common Interest.
None of this works without People AND Common Interest.
