Regarding the discussion on participation and involvement, I recalled
an excellent program on leadership on Midmorning on MPR 2/16/06 .It
was was an interview between Kerry Miller and Stephen Covey.(link at
bottom) Covey mentioned what Drucker had said and then offers an
explanation.
The sagacious management consultant Peter Drucker shortly before he
died said... "For the first time literally a substantial and rapidly
growing numbers of people have choices. For the first time they will
have to manage themselves and society is totally unprepared for it."
Stephen Covey said. "Much of the problem lies in behavior that flows
out of an incomplete or deeply flawed paradigm or view of human
nature---one that undermines people's sense of worth and strait
jackets their talents and potential."
I think these two quotes fit with Organizational consultant Meg
Wheatley's statement: " it's not only the leaders themselves that
have to change , but also our idea of what we want out leaders for"
I'd encourage us to think we're at a really big time in making
decisions about how government and all organizations will work-- we
have to imagine how to make this change. See www.winonaworks.com
