Theos-Talk Archives (April 2002 Message tt00086)

Hi all of you,

In a book by Mike Pedler "The Learning Organization" (-- try reading it !) - the idea is that the organizations of the present and future to come have- "Not carismatic leaders" but somehing like - counselling or coaching leaders - i.e. sort of polite moderators which are acting as motivators for developing communication and life enfoldment between people.

Is it something like that, which Eldon is up to ?

A view: It is not always cold at the top - if we seek to inform each other properly.
Maybe Eldon has something more to offer on how the list is being moderated.

(-- Well it is just me and my Middle Eastern - karma...)

Feel free to do your best...

from Sufilight -- with moderations and holistic organizers...and some new rugrats...
