fairly regular basis. I also get people (sometimes clients) saying that
it did not work for them in their last experience. I know there are a few
folks that do it quite differently than I do and sometimes that leads to these
comments. I’ve had others, who experienced OS from someone I
respect, also say they do not want to use it (often with real intensity.)
I hunch that for some of them, even a “great” OST experience scares
them or challenges too many assumptions. They see strong emotions emerge,
not all conversations have the same clarity or depth – and they assume it
can be done differently given all the processes they have experienced.
They prefer processes they can control. They realize they cannot control
OST now they have experienced it. Sometimes that is because OST is not
appropriate for what they want to do and accomplish in their meeting.
They are looking for particular outcomes or action that they want to
shape. For traditional “results” oriented people, it
sometimes does that give them the results they want in the time frames they are
willing to give. </span></font></p>
