<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello folks</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OK - we've had Enron, Arthur Andersen, Nortel,
Royal Bank of Canada being sued by Robobank of Holland... and now Worldcom. Is
there a pattern here? Diddling the books, fraud, insider trading, covert
actions vis. employees and shareholders? And most of all, really thinking
that we/ they could get away with it! The arrogance that if we/they just worked
hard enough, were smart enough, created enough complicated paper or electronic
trails.... that nobody would find it out! That the rules were different for
"leaders". (ref. Harrison's book, The Power of Spirit, Spiral Dynamics - orange
meme, etc.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And what about "us" (maybe not you personally, but
as in us vs. them)? How are we part of the problem? Anyone who has a pension
plan, a retirement plan, any kind of stock holding. Did we really think huge
double digit returns were sustainable? How much of a blind eye did we turn when
our pockets were bing nicely lined too? That we could somehow get a plum job out
of the deal? Greed and attachment may be human failings, but enough is enough
already!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>SO, I wonder if we're at a turning point here? That
the arrogance is beginning to smell. And what can we do to help us all
learn and move on, to help the spiral turn... in healthy fashion. I do a fair
bit of work in corporate circles, and will continue to open space whenever I
can. AND I would really appreciate any other ideas, what other folks are doing,
your thoughts on the matter.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...with a frown and a smile!</FONT></DIV>
