(:-)),<br>
but it seems a while since I heard from all my friends. Personally, I have <br>
come back south from my summer abode in </span></font>Maine and have started on
the<br>
Winter's chores. Not that it is really like work, but I find myself thinking<br>
a lot about where OST has taken me. At the simplest level OST as become a <br>
marvelous natural experiment probing a very different understanding of the<br>
capacity of human beings for productive and fulfilling work, and the way we<br>
might approach the work that we do. Several years ago I wrote a book, "The
<br>
Practice of Peace," exploring the work of Peace Making. Currently on my
desk<br>
is another effort looking at the ways in which we have sub-optimized and<br>
underestimated the capacity for superior performance. Whether this actually <br>
turns into a book or not, remains to be seen, but the interest is there. And<br>
then there is the marvelous opportunity to do an OS with a large software<br>
company designing a new major product line. I think we could learn just how <br>
ineffective we have been in this area, and how one might radically raise the<br>
level of performance. And I am wondering what you may have discovered???<br>
<br>
For example, we have used OST quite a bit in an educational environment <br>
apparently to good effect. But then my question is what have we learned<br>
about the nature of education and how we might do it better. And of course,<br>
here in the US we are totally enmeshed in the Political Season and I wonder <br>
what we may have learned about the political process, and how to do it<br>
better and more effectively. . . Just Wondering.<br>
