Margaret Weatley speaks brilliantly. Nancy Margulies makes wonderful drawings to help as holding the ideas.

1. People support what they create

2. People act responsibly when they care

3. Conversation is the way human beings have always thought

4. To change the conversation, change who is in it

5. Expect leaders to come from anywhere


Really insightful, Meg! The rest of the 10 principles in a next post.

Enjoy the revolution :-)!

MARGARET WHEATLEY

Really profitable morning, flowing and showing.

After posting something on Nancy Margulies, I came by Margaret Wheatley who wrote an introduction to Nancy's great book "Mindscaping".



I'm listening to her brilliant lessons as I write this words. Long (1:43 hours) pleasure to enjoy!

Best wishes!

WOW, DID YOU KNOW THIS TECHNOLOGY ALREADY EXISTS?

After my previous post I searched "Nancy Margulies video" and... look what I found!



I think this can be really useful for visually representing what big groups are generating.

Best wishes!

MANIFESTO FOR CHILDREN (E. Paul Torrance on a CREATIVE LIFE)



As someone passionate about creativity I've spent much time exploring the subject and many authors' ideas. E. Paul Torrance was acclaimed as one of the main experts. One day I came by this piece. I got impressed by it, printed it and pasted it on my work table. Whenever I was kind of upset, reading it and dreaming it's absolutely true used to energize me.

I don't any more work at the same office, but I have since had in mind I should recover this piece and have it always at hand. I believe in it nowadays more than ever before and today is the day I recover it for this blog.


E. Paul Torrance MANIFESTO FOR CHILDREN
---
Don't be afraid to fall in love with something and pursue it with intensity.

Know, understand, take pride in, practice, develop, exploit
and enjoy your
greatest strengths.

Learn to free yourself from the expectations of others and to walk away from the games they impose on you.

Free yourself to play your own game.

Find a great teacher or mentor who will help you.

Learn the skills of interdependence.

Don't waste energy trying to be well rounded.


Enjoy yourself,

LEADERSHIP'S VALUE


To lead people, walk beside them …
As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence.
The next best, the people honor and praise.
The next, the people fear;
and the next, the people hate …
When the best leader’s work is done the people say,
"We did it ourselves!”

- Lao-tsu

Enjoy yourself!
