> The answer has consistently been about the leadership capacity of the

> conversation to be having and I feel a lot of respect for the leaders and

>
> My personal favorite outcome of the discussion is the leader (leadership
> team) expressing an interest in developing personal and group leadership
> capacity so that they can successfully lead an organization with a
> participatory architecture along the same lines as the participatory
> architecture of the OST meeting.
>
> Initially I proceeded with these leaders by teaching them how to work with

> have them go through what we call our Next Level Leadership learning track

> They can do these five modules as self study with lots of reflection about

> Placing this learning track in their hands assists them with discernment
