I believe that people in the Agile/IT world (and people in general) tend
to "medicate" their pains/worries/etc with processes. tools. frameworks.
certifications. etc.
I have some writing on this. It appears here:

Dear Suzanne,
Thanks for the account! I just downloaded the Spirit PDF. I thought I
had read it already - but it's different than the book "The Power of
Spirit". I've only read a few pages - powerful! I prefer paper - so I
also found a signed copy on Amazon.
Thank you so much for understanding the power of what these (sometimes
annoying and anti-social) propeller heads, nerds, and geeks have been
up to - and how much the really good ones have been seeing that it's
all really a *PEOPLE* issue.
And now - someone like Dan - get's that it's even more - a *SPIRIT*
issue! What Harrison has been trying to say for decades.
I invite and encourage more folks to sign up for Dan's Agile primer on
October 14. This stuff only started in the software world. Yes, the
roots go back to Toyota, W. Edwards Deming, and probably Adam and
prehistoric shamans if you swim up that river far enough! But it's
going everywhere - and it's going to need (our) SPIRIT.
Thank you, Suzanne, for facilitating several awesome conversations in
the Agile/Scrum/Lean world - like Scrum Beyond Software, Agile Day
NYC, a morning Open Jam mini Open Space at Agile 2010 - and more I
wasn't able to attend. Thank you thank you for being a wonderful
supporter of helping these two communities benefit from each other!
Blessings!

Riveting, humorous and serious, and super invitational with a
powerful message behind it! Dan Mezick did a super job presenting
his Open Agile Adoption approach. As it is with Open Space, you can
never truly understand Open Space hearing it described. I'd say the
same applies to Dan; you can never truly get Dan with his passion,
conviction and depth of experience working with teams, in Scrum with
Open Space until he engages you in person. His recent written posts
could not fully capture what he shared today. The in-person version
with his story telling and logic was very engaging. I know his
presentation will be available to all soon. I would not even want to
try to capture the essence of it here. What I can say he that he
made a compelling case for a heartfelt and smart collaboration
between Scrum and Open Space -- two communities that share many
values and who are committed to assuring high performance and joy in
the doing. Jasmina Nikolic and I were both very ignited as were the
400 folks who were here.
Bravo Dan... and I wish we had google analytics attached to the
download of Harrison's Spirit book cause I'm thinking that there will
be a slew of them based on Dan's enthusiastic nudging that it is a
book to read. And yes Harrison, he even included your disclaimer...
that it's a tough read!
Tomorrow, Adam Weisbart facilitates the full day of Open Space. The
Theme is "Prioritize Passion". The invitation captures the spirit and
essence of what this conference has been all about and I just can't
wait to participate. I know that are equally excited about tomorrow.
Warm regards,
Suzanne (and Jasmina...but I don't quite know where she is right now).
P.S. Jasmina Nikolic and her colleague Karl Royle also did a great
job yesterday presenting their topic Scrum in Schools where they too
discussed the value of Open Space to open space...!
