[OSList] Canada Connundrum... What do YOU Think?

[Tony Budak]

"First, when thinking about strategies for organizational change, we 
need to remember: *Participation is not a choice*. We have no choice but 
to invite people into the process of rethinking, redesigning, 
restructuring the organization. We ignore people's need to participate 
at our own peril. If they're involved, they will create a future that 
already has them in it. We won't have to engage in the impossible and 
exhausting tasks of "selling" them the solution, getting them "to 
enroll," or figuring out the incentives that might bribe them into 
compliant behaviors. For the past fifty years a great bit of wisdom has 
circulated in the field of organizational behavior: People support what 
they create. In observing how life organizes, we would restate this 
maxim as: People /only/ support what they create. Life insists on its 
freedom to participate and can never be sold on or bossed into accepting 
someone else's plans",
