Joan
I follow your posts to the LO list with interest but have problems. The
following extracts [from three messages in the same digest] occur to me,
as somonone who fervently believes in what she does, encouraging the
captain of the Titanic to motivate everyone to go even faster.

Please tell us what these "assumptions concerning paid work" are that we
must change. I actually don't personally have any today and never have had
any so I am at a loss over the issue. It has always seemed to me that
people who are willing to work will have the most success and those who
come with requirements to lay on the boss will have less success.

On change
My group has a proven prescription for creating and sustaining this value
based culture of highly motivated, committed and creative people who love
coming to work because they trust and deeply respect how the place is
being run.

The last quote stikes me as an oxymoron. You cannot prescribe my
commitment. You might prescribe how I get my [actually a] dog committed to
chasing balls. What am I [or you] missing?
