Hi everyone,
Those who know me know that I am hugely passionate about business and
work. I was immediately drawn to Open Space because I knew it offered
a robust and simple process that could spark huge "experiential"
breakthroughs in thinking in the way we manage and lead. Not to
mention breakthroughs leading to better results, more creativity and
more joy at work.
I saw and felt the limits of our piecemeal cause/effect approaches
viewed from the prism (or prisons) of our silos, sectors, and
hierarchies. I longed for a more inclusive and wholistic way and
within the limits of my unconscious mind and without the benefit of
something as simple and elegant as Open Space, I did my best to invite
diversity and shared leadership. I did not know much about
self-organizing and have much to learn still in the living of it and
letting go control.
Recently I've re-entered the corporate business world by hanging out
with a lot of folks who are as passionate if not more passionate than
I about bringing joy to work, re-inventing our structures and systems,
etc. etc. I've also jumped into the social media world. It feels a bit
like coming home and I'm so darn excited because I see the
possibilities of so many of us connecting together.
Everywhere I turn I see opportunities for Open Space; I see the
context behind the issues and the possibilities to bring people
together. I also feel a greater readiness in organizations "to try"
and to "let go" based on different conversations, some of the most
popular business writings and of course, the younger generation though
what they desire (meaning and purpose at work) is no different than
how it's always been. They're just more vocal about stating what they
want and what they stand for.
I share all of this with you because I will be in New York at
International House this weekend and I've invited some of these new
friends, many who are strangers to Open Space. I am super excited
because I am imagining they will respond as I did to Open Space seeing
the power and magic of what it invites, quickly connecting the dots to
what we are trying to achieve to reinvent the workplace which many
call are now calling a "workplace revolution".
For all of those who share my passion for business and work, I wanted
to share this article which was passed on to me by Tom Asacker who
wrote a gem of a book (top inspirational Business book by Inc.
Magazine) called The Business of Belief
<http://www.amazon.com/The-Business-Belief-Salespeople-Entrepreneurs/dp/1483922979/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389666130&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=the+Business+of+Belife>
which offers great insights around how people make decisions and take
action. It certainly aligns with the advice we're often given to not
be "selling Open Space" but to connect directly with where people are
coming from: their issues and their desires.
The article Tom sent is a Forbes interview with the President of Whole
Foods. I think many will find the article quite fascinating. The
title is: "The Unique Self of Business".

And finally on my bookshelf too is Josh Allan Dykstra's Book "Igniting
the Invisible Tribe
<http://www.amazon.com/Igniting-Invisible-Tribe-Designing-Organization/dp/0985832614/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389666544&sr=8-1&keywords=Igniting+the+Invisible+tribe>,
Designing an organization that doesn't suck". He is scheduled to be
on a Google Hangout TV show with the HRockstars this coming Wednesday
at 6 pm Eastern time. You can sign up by clicking here and then
revisiting the website just before 6 for the live link. It will also
be made available on YouTube.

run into any problems, send me a quick email and I will try to help
navigate you to the right place.
Warm regards to all.
Suzanne
