Fear of freedom

[Yoav Peck]

Kerry, 

Thanks for your response. Yes, I have to get myself out of the way here, and
letting the Committee decide what to do with the madam's plan and to have
her experience a limited-audience re-thinking of her assumptions makes
sense. The "document" to be produced by the steering committee might be the
way to acknowledge her idea while contextualizing it in what might still be
an open-ish process for the large group. Whether it can be a true open space
will depend on her willingness to have her plan become an idea rather than
the idea for how to move forward. 

We spent a glorious week in the highlands last summer. What a great country
to live in! 

Thanks again. Yoav

Dear Yoav

 

Ah, the insecurity of management!

 

How about distributing her plan to the Steering Committee and asking the
Committee to deal with it during a half day event?  She will then experience
her plan's acceptability to the core group wanting to move the project
forward.  Let them deal with it while you step aside. 

 

Once the Steering Committee completes it's work, they can distribute their
agreed document to all  participants before reconvening an OST event for the
60 people and anyone else interested.  The emphasis of this second event
would be to agree the way forward and create action plans to make it happen.

 

Good luck.

 

Regards
