<div>>Recently, my company had an interesting situation--it was
supposed to be an </div>
<div>>OS, life was moving well--and suddenly the management got cold
feet. Four </div>
<div>>days before an event that had been in planning for a month and a
half, it </div>
<div>>was decided that we needed traditional facilitation instead of
OS, to </div>
<div>>"protect" the group from one another.</div>
<div>></div>
<div>>I won't go into all of it--and I will share the outcome of the
event as it </div>
<div>>went forward--but in the midst of the turmoil, this fable came
to me. Call </div>
<div>>it a Sufi story for OS, or whatever you would like. (and a
special wink to </div>
<div>>Ralph Copleman for all the learning and patience.)</div>
