Micheal, Harrison-- I found myself thinking of invitation a couple of weeks ago, while musing on a visit to a client that is trying to move away from command and control and the experts doing everything, toward greater collaboration and personal responsibility. I had watched them use invitation in a very powerful way, and I wanted to encourage them to make invitation a more common practice.
"Invitation is a useful practice when you want to move away from command and control: Invite . . . to the meeting Invite . . . to participate Invite . . . to take responsibility Invite . . . to take action Asking and inviting create a very different dynamic from telling and helping."
