Dear Arno, (and hello OSList)
Not only do you mean mediation, you wrote it and you are engaged in really
profound work by the sound of it - I hope you get more responses from those
with
insights on the subject - my curiosity in UK is about the tensions between the
essential oppositionalism in our state systems and those advocating (forced to
use the term in the context) for mediation, e.g. in particular in family courts
and resolution of so much human disarray) - OST here is potentially such a
lifesaver...
PS - Joined list in last few days (OST-er for 15 years) - bizarre
communications
observed, reluctant to filter them so early, but why the almost willful
confusions - meandering is fun but do I detect some all too human/
psychodynamic/ social twists? This from a dame who might have chaos for a
middle
name...

Subject: Re: OS and mediation
Dear Arno,
Open Space is a bit analogous to organizational meditation if you think
about it.
A traditional leader is similar to the ego in our consciousness, with the
illusion of command and control. In Open Space, the "leader" takes a
breather and just watches what's present in the psyche of the organization
and lets it surface - "how fascinating" - and then refuses to refocus the
organization on any one topic at least during the time of the Open Space.
