I have found that voluntary self-selection is the essential precondition for a
well functioning self-organizing system. Anything less and system function
degrades. It may not go all the way to failure, but it surely isn’t as
good as it could be. And genuine invitation is the only way to insure voluntary
self selection. So if your boss is willing to settle for less than the best,
that is certainly his choice. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=red face=Arial><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>I guess this could sound pretty new age and
impractical – but frankly it just makes good sense to me. Especially in a
business situation with mission critical undertakings. Honest answers to
a few questions may make the point. For example – Have you (or your boss)
ever seen someone who didn’t really care do a really good job? Or when a
group of folks are assigned to do a job, ask yourself how many actually do the
work? Usually it is some fraction of the whole. Those people feel angry and abused
because they did all the work, and the others feel guilty. Yes the job gets
done, but at the cost of no small amount of guilt and anger – neither of
which are positive aspects of a healthy work environment. All of this can be
avoided by invitation.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=red face=Arial><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>Invitation and peoples’ responses to
invitation, insures that jobs are done by people who care to do them. And all
those people who could care less are effectively eliminated. Speaking just for
my self, I should infinitely prefer to have 5 people who really care as opposed
to 50 who are just along for the ride. Will the 5 always succeed? No –
but they will give it their best shot. Which is to say -- High Performance,
innovation, creativity, and just plain fun are likely characteristics of that
work environment. If your boss is happy with something less, God love him. He
would not be on my team.</span></font></p>

Harrison and friends,<br>
<br>
My Boss raised an interesting question and I would love to hear your experience
on this issue.<br>
<br>
He cited the Boeing doors example and then challenged the idea of INVITATION.
He said in a business organisation, some key people just have to be there, they
can't have a choice about coming.<br>
<br>
So I explained to him that in the Pre-OST stage, there is a lot of work done
with the Sponsor group looking at questions like that, however ultimately
people must individually choose to be there or not.<br>
<br>
So then he said well what if in the Boeing example, one of the key technicians,
essential for the whole process, decided not to turn up because he had booked a
holiday and just didn't want to miss it.<br>
<br>
This does raise an interesting question about whether people can really be free
to choose.<br>
<br>
PLEASE PLEASE share your experiences with me because having facilitated a
number of OSTs, I am convinced about how it works, and the also the deeper
aspects that emerge from it.<br>
<br>
Thanks Bhav...<br>
<br>

Subject: [OSLIST] anti laws andrew and all, i've sometimes pondered the
"Low of too feat": Others take responsibility for what *I* love as an
act of service or If I'm neither learning nor contributing everyone else should
leave ... and by extension-- bumblebees are those who go and sting others in as
many groups as possible. and butterflies? yes, it does jangle the senses a
little bit...but perhaps something to bee desired from thyme to thyme? wormly,

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Andrew I am unsure if you can have anti laws
with regard to the principles. First of all the process is based on
"SELF" (the most important concept here)-organisation which involved
participation or non-participation which involves human choice. Even if you
adopt a Doris Day approach (Que Serra, Serra, whatever will be, will be, the
future's not ours to see, que serra, serra, am I giving my age away knowing
this song lol) your choice to let things happen is an intervention and so you
have influenced the process making what happens the only thing that could have.
If you do not turn up then you have had an influence of non-influence on the
process and outcome so you have been involved and have been part of the right
people. What ever happens is the only thing as if you are "involved"
your involvement changes the dynamic and outcome, likewise if you are
"involved" via no-involvement you affect the dynamic in a different
way and as I stated above what then happens is the only thing that could have.
Likewise when it starts is because someone made a choice to start it and you
are "involved" or "not" which still has impact and
similarly it's over because there is a choice made that it is over via group
consensus or an individual's choice that for them it is over. Everything is in
some way linked and interdependent and what we choose to do or not do, ripples
out to affect all around us. We just need to always endeavour to impact in a
positive way. Anyhoo, hope this adds to the confusion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------- And on another thread, where are
the most unusual places that folks know OST has happened? I recently had the
pleasure of opening space for a great group of young people (that's anyone
younger than me) from about 9 different parts of Europe who had come together
In Londonderry to be involved in an Up-cycling project of Trash to Treasure
which also involved a 1 day OS. One participant selected the swimming pool as
an additional breakout space and it was one of the best attended sessions with
the details of the conversation recorded at the side of the pool by anyone out
of the water. Maybe the fifth unspoken principle is; Where ever it happens is
the right place/only place it could have happened Regards Derrick Why not check

Subject: Anti Laws of OST Dear All, Recently I've been pondering / wondering
about what might be the Anti-laws of OST. For instance. "What isn't
happening are all the things that should be" Or "What didn't happen
are all the things that should have" As opposed to. "Whatever happens
is the only thing that could have or did" What are your thoughts on other
"complimentary" anti-laws? :-) Warm regards, Andrew -- Andrew Rixon

to render the whole thing non-sensical, the 4 principles and one = law are
neither laws nor principles actually. To be honest they are just my = (and

they are descriptive as opposed to descriptive - You could say it is all = a

The joke, however turned out to be outrageously funny - because somehow or

Subject: Re: Anti Laws of OST =20 Hi Andrew =20 I am unsure if you can have
anti laws with regard to the principles. =20 First of all the process is based
on "SELF" (the most important concept here)-organisation which

if you adopt a Doris Day approach (Que = Serra, Serra, whatever will be, will
be, the future's not ours to see, que = serra, serra, am I giving my age away

likewise if you are = "involved" via no-involvement you affect the

a choice to start it and = you are "involved" or "not"
which still has impact and similarly it's over because there is a choice made

I must confess that my interest really isn't in whether the 4 principles are
principles or laws. Having recently read Phil Zimbardo's time paradox I
couldn't but help to see how all 4 "principles" seem to relate to
time. One of Zimbardo's interesting writings is around how we (often without
knowing it) carry around with us a time perspective. The time perspectives he
talks about are: 1. Future (The well known westerner approach to planning and
all things about the future) 2. Present Hedonistic (Make the most of now) 3.
Present Fatalistic (It's going to happen anyway) 4. Past Positive (Gratitude)
5. Past Negative (Woe to me) Which time perspective would you choose to help
you be most "healthy" ? Zimbardo's answer is we (especially in the
west) need to be Highly Past Positive. You can even do your own assessment of
what time zone you're living in here: <a href="http://www.thetimeparadox.com/">http://www.thetimeparadox.com/</a>
Know any jokes about time? :-) Warm regards, Andrew -- Andrew Rixon PhD

Subject: Re: [OSLIST] Anti Laws of OST Just to render the whole thing
non-sensical, the 4 principles and one law are neither laws nor principles
actually. To be honest they are just my (and others') observations of what
seemed to be happening in any case. In a word they are descriptive as opposed
to descriptive - You could say it is all a joke. Rather like "technology"
in the phrase Open Space Technology. The joke, however turned out to be
outrageously funny - because somehow or another truth broke through. We are in
serious trouble! Everybody knows that what happens in Open Space simply can't
happen. Unfortunately it does - and that makes a joke out of a whole mess of
other stuff - like most of what we think we know about meetings, the management
of meetings, and management itself. Double trouble!! Harrison Harrison Owen

Subject: Re: Anti Laws of OST Hi Andrew I am unsure if you can have anti laws
with regard to the principles. First of all the process is based on
"SELF" (the most important concept here)-organisation which involved
participation or non-participation which involves human choice. Even if you
adopt a Doris Day approach (Que Serra, Serra, whatever will be, will be, the
future's not ours to see, que serra, serra, am I giving my age away knowing
this song lol) your choice to let things happen is an intervention and so you
have influenced the process making what happens the only thing that could have.
If you do not turn up then you have had an influence of non-influence on the
process and outcome so you have been involved and have been part of the right
people. What ever happens is the only thing as if you are "involved"
your involvement changes the dynamic and outcome, likewise if you are
"involved" via no-involvement you affect the dynamic in a different
way and as I stated above what then happens is the only thing that could have.
Likewise when it starts is because someone made a choice to start it and you
are "involved" or "not" which still has impact and
similarly it's over because there is a choice made that it is over via group
consensus or an individual's choice that for them it is over. Everything is in
some way linked and interdependent and what we choose to do or not do, ripples
out to affect all around us. We just need to always endeavour to impact in a
positive way. Anyhoo, hope this adds to the confusion. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------- And on another thread, where are
the most unusual places that folks know OST has happened? I recently had the
pleasure of opening space for a great group of young people (that's anyone
younger than me) from about 9 different parts of Europe who had come together
In Londonderry to be involved in an Up-cycling project of Trash to Treasure
which also involved a 1 day OS. One participant selected the swimming pool as
an additional breakout space and it was one of the best attended sessions with
the details of the conversation recorded at the side of the pool by anyone out
of the water. Maybe the fifth unspoken principle is; Where ever it happens is
the right place/only place it could have happened Regards Derrick Why not check

Subject: Anti Laws of OST Dear All, Recently I've been pondering / wondering
about what might be the Anti-laws of OST. For instance. "What isn't
happening are all the things that should be" Or "What didn't happen
are all the things that should have" As opposed to. "Whatever happens
is the only thing that could have or did" What are your thoughts on other
"complimentary" anti-laws? :-) Warm regards, Andrew -- Andrew Rixon

Which time perspective would you choose to help you be most =93healthy=94 ?<br>
<br>
Zimbardo=92s answer is we (especially in the west) need to be Highly Past
Positive.<br>
<br>
You can even do your own assessment of what time zone you=92re living in here:<br>

to render the whole thing non-sensical, the 4 principles and one law are
neither laws nor principles actually. To be honest they are just my (and
others=92) observations of what seemed to be happening in any case. In a word they
are descriptive as opposed to descriptive =96 You could say it is all a joke.
Rather like =93technology=94 in the phrase Open Space Technology. The joke,
however turned out to be outrageously funny =96 because somehow or another
truth broke through. We are in serious trouble! Everybody knows that what
happens in Open Space simply can=92t happen. Unfortunately it does =96 and that
makes a joke out of a whole mess of other stuff =96 like most of what we think
we know about meetings, the management of meetings, and management itself.
Double trouble!!<br>

of all the process is based on "SELF" (the most important concept

involves human choice. Even if you adopt a Doris Day approach (Que Serra,
Serra, whatever will be, will be, the future's not ours to see, que serra,
serra, am I giving my age away knowing this song lol) your choice to let things
happen is an intervention and so you have influenced the process making what

when it starts is because someone made a choice to start it and you are

really isn't in whether the 4 principles are principles or laws. Having
recently read Phil Zimbardo's time paradox I couldn't but help to see how all 4
"principles" seem to relate to time. One of Zimbardo's interesting
writings is around how we (often without knowing it) carry around with us a
time perspective. The time perspectives he talks about are: 1. Future (The well
known westerner approach to planning and all things about the future) 2.
Present Hedonistic (Make the most of now) 3. Present Fatalistic (It's going to
happen anyway) 4. Past Positive (Gratitude) 5. Past Negative (Woe to me) Which
time perspective would you choose to help you be most "healthy" ?
Zimbardo's answer is we (especially in the west) need to be Highly Past Positive.
You can even do your own assessment of what time zone you're living in here: <a

Subject: Re: [OSLIST] Anti Laws of OST Just to render the whole thing
non-sensical, the 4 principles and one law are neither laws nor principles
actually. To be honest they are just my (and others') observations of what
seemed to be happening in any case. In a word they are descriptive as opposed
to descriptive - You could say it is all a joke. Rather like
"technology" in the phrase Open Space Technology. The joke, however
turned out to be outrageously funny - because somehow or another truth broke
through. We are in serious trouble! Everybody knows that what happens in Open
Space simply can't happen. Unfortunately it does - and that makes a joke out of
a whole mess of other stuff - like most of what we think we know about
meetings, the management of meetings, and management itself. Double trouble!!

Subject: Re: Anti Laws of OST Hi Andrew I am unsure if you can have anti laws
with regard to the principles. First of all the process is based on
"SELF" (the most important concept here)-organisation which involved
participation or non-participation which involves human choice. Even if you
adopt a Doris Day approach (Que Serra, Serra, whatever will be, will be, the
future's not ours to see, que serra, serra, am I giving my age away knowing
this song lol) your choice to let things happen is an intervention and so you
have influenced the process making what happens the only thing that could have.
If you do not turn up then you have had an influence of non-influence on the
process and outcome so you have been involved and have been part of the right
people. What ever happens is the only thing as if you are "involved"
your involvement changes the dynamic and outcome, likewise if you are
"involved" via no-involvement you affect the dynamic in a different
way and as I stated above what then happens is the only thing that could have.
Likewise when it starts is because someone made a choice to start it and you
are "involved" or "not" which still has impact and similarly
it's over because there is a choice made that it is over via group consensus or
an individual's choice that for them it is over. Everything is in some way
linked and interdependent and what we choose to do or not do, ripples out to
affect all around us. We just need to always endeavour to impact in a positive
way. Anyhoo, hope this adds to the confusion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------- And on another thread, where are
the most unusual places that folks know OST has happened? I recently had the
pleasure of opening space for a great group of young people (that's anyone
younger than me) from about 9 different parts of Europe who had come together
In Londonderry to be involved in an Up-cycling project of Trash to Treasure
which also involved a 1 day OS. One participant selected the swimming pool as
an additional breakout space and it was one of the best attended sessions with
the details of the conversation recorded at the side of the pool by anyone out
of the water. Maybe the fifth unspoken principle is; Where ever it happens is
the right place/only place it could have happened Regards Derrick Why not check

I must confess that my interest really isn’t in whether the 4 =
principles are principles or laws.<br>
<br>
Having recently read Phil Zimbardo’s time paradox I couldn’t = but
help to see how all 4 “principles” seem to relate to = time.<br>
<br>
One of Zimbardo’s interesting writings is around how we (often = without
knowing it) carry around with us a time perspective. The time = perspectives he
talks about are:</span></font></i></b></p>

Which time perspective would you choose to help you be most
“healthy” ?<br>
<br>
Zimbardo’s answer is we (especially in the west) need to be Highly = Past
Positive.<br>

to render the whole thing non-sensical, the 4 principles and one law are =

<br>
For instance.<br>
<br>
“What isn’t happening are all the things that should = be”<br>
<br>
Or<br>
<br>
“What didn’t happen are all the things that should = have”<br>
<br>
As opposed to…<br>
<br>
“Whatever happens is the only thing that could have or = did”<br>

What are your thoughts on other “complimentary” anti-laws? = </span></font></i></b><b><i><font
