[OSList] advice and courage

[Eva P Svensson]

Hi Hege,
YES they can :-) - have those conversations! One of my first OS was with people who worked so to speak on the productionfloor. They worked and talked and in the morning the second day when the book on proceedings where in the middle of the morning circle they said "have we done that?! It's not à consultant, its us!" and that was soo great!

Klem

> I think about the open space people in London.( WOSONOS) So wice, so used to listning, talking polite,  openly and supportive to eachother. Can people, Who`ve ben working on a ship yard all their life, make this kind of conversations, just like that? I struggle with faith... ( They are world leading in what they do, but this kind of thing is not what they are doing)
