"First, when thinking about strategies for organizational change, we
need to remember: *Participation is not a choice*. We have no choice but
to invite people into the process of rethinking, redesigning,
restructuring the organization. We ignore people's need to participate
at our own peril. If they're involved, they will create a future that
already has them in it. We won't have to engage in the impossible and
exhausting tasks of "selling" them the solution, getting them "to
enroll," or figuring out the incentives that might bribe them into
compliant behaviors. For the past fifty years a great bit of wisdom has
circulated in the field of organizational behavior: People support what
they create. In observing how life organizes, we would restate this
maxim as: People /only/ support what they create. Life insists on its
freedom to participate and can never be sold on or bossed into accepting
someone else's plans",

The protestors say, ...We stand for Freedom!... What does Canada's
leader stand for? Authoritarianism? Maybe they will need to build a
lot of prisons to lock up the protestors. Or maybe the Leader should
call Harrison Owen to facilitate an Open Space Technology meeting for
Canada and the world to have a conversation. What do you think my
brothers and sisters?
