Now I'm not sure who that recent quote (presented in the article) that I posted should be attributed to, David Bohm or Gary Zukav? Anyway, here is a skill set based on a quantum perspective:
"The well-known motivational theorist, Abraham Maslow, once commented: "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you will see every problem as a nail." Today many people are attempting to create organizational transformation using a hammer and nail mentality. They diligently hammer away at issues with logical, linear action plans, attempting to create major change with minimal chaos. Consequently, the results of their new initiatives are often merely incremental and sometimes only cosmetic. If we are to re-create our organizations for the twenty-first century, we must release our outdated beliefs about the way the world works and we must replace our time-worn hammers with a radically new tool kit. Such a kit would contain new skills-skills that are congruent with the new paradigm view of organizations as unpredictable, interactive, living systems, rather than stable, clock-like machines. "Since the business tools of planning, organizing, directing, and controlling are derivatives of classical Newtonian physics, perhaps we can look to quantum physics for an updated skill set. Though many new paradigm writers prefer to use a biological metaphor, the basic principles of quantum mechanics provide radical insights into a world that is both objective and subjective, logical and irrational, linear and nonlinear, orderly and chaotic; a world in which human observation somehow affects that which is observed. In short, the principles of quantum mechanics challenge us to turn our view of reality upside down and acknowledge that there is much more to life than meets the eye. "These quirky quantum concepts can be translated into a highly practical skill set. I call these skills Quantum Skills because they are premised on the assumption that the quantum realm of energy is primary or causal and the material world is secondary. The skills are:". http://www.newwork.com/Pages/Contributors/Shelton/Hammer.html Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
