Subject: Go to the people



Many of you probably know this saying of the author of the Tao de ching and
Taoism, but for those who might not, I'd like to share it.  I operate from
it in my work with community and I believe it reflects the self-organizing
philosophy underpinning OST

 

 

Go to the People; 


Live among them; 


Love them; Learn from them; 


Start from where they are; 

Work with them; Build on what they have. 


But of the best leaders, 

When the task is accomplished, 


The work completed, 


The people all remark: 

 

            "We have done this ourselves"

 

. Lao Tse
