I operate from it in my work with community and I believe it reflects the self-organizing philosophy underpinning OST Go to the People; Live among them; Love them; Learn from them; Start from where they are; Work with them; Build on what they have. But of the best leaders, When the task is accomplished, The work completed, The people all remark: "We have done this ourselves" .
