Margaret Wheatley asks,"are we engaging all those who have a stake in this issue?"
At the end of all our struggles & travails
We were together.
I forget the rest.
Walt Whitman
"Are we working on an issue that people truly care about?
How do we know they care?"
"how often do we use conversation rather than a more technical problem solving process?
Where do our conversations occur?"
"are we stuck in this conversation?
Do our conversations go 'round and 'round and lead nowhere?
What new people could we invite into the conversation?"
"when have you been surprised about who stepped forward as an informal leader?"
"When have we been most energised for our work?
Why did we have so much energy?
What is possible here, and who cares?"
"do we look inside our community expecting to find the answers there? Or do we look outside for best practice?"
"how do we react to times of failure when we see our progress suddenly disappear?"
"Are we paying attention to our relationships?
Are we supporting each other?
How often do we gossip, judge or scapegoat?"
"if someone would observe our community, would they see those qualities in us?"
