Time for Self-Organization

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Could it be that it wasn't Obama that won the election but the way space 
was opened for unfolding millions of selforganized initiatives with all 
the benefits of broadened leadership and high performance?
If it does not let itself be controlled or shut down it might have the 
capacity to perhaps keep things going towards a more peaceful and 
productive ride...Obama and Congress will not be able to provide the 
transformation needed, selforganization will...
So, where does that leave us grand facilitators?
