experienced it. He did so at Vivien’s suggestion, whose professional judgment he
trusted having engaged her services last year with good outcomes. In turn the
team of 40 people 'dived in' when trusting the process as their 'boss'

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Alan – the experience
of respect in Open Space is a first for many people, and may be the first step
to renewal, creativity, and for some, healing. There seems to be a natural
progression from respect to trust to hope. At least I have seen it play out
that way on countless occasions. This progression is most obvious (and most
needed) in highly conflicted environments. I guess it is most obvious there
because people usually experience so little respect that it comes as very much
of a surprise. It is a constant wonder to me that people can survive in
situations bereft of respect and literally dripping with a level of pathology
that for me is incomprehensible. It is an even greater wonder (mystery) that
these same people can consider this situation to be “normal.” If the
“situation” were a concentration camp, that makes a certain amount of sense –
but more often than not we are talking about a “perfectly respectable”
business or corporation. Then again, I guess it is not so strange for the
standard organizational structure seems perfectly designed to limit, even
eliminate, essential human connection, to say nothing of respect. Folks are
locked in boxes and deprived of information all in the name of efficiency,
effectiveness and productivity. The name of the game is fear and control.
Nothing new here, and hardly a deep insight – but under the circumstances Open
Space is definitely revolutionary, if only because people are invited to leave
their cages. The greatest wonder may be that we are ever invited to open
space. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
