He says:
"When I go in the wild, I open myself to everything..." Thus I have to
move slowly and with great concentration. My behavior affords the snakes
an opportunity to feel the vibrations which I make and thus move out of my
path. Snakes will only confront a person aggressively when they feel
trapped." and "hunt with only willing dogs."
This struck me given some of the challenges I am facing as a change agent.
Whether intentional or not, this post reminded me to move slowly when
attempting change in an organization. I forget, I am so excited about
what I think learning can do for all of us, and those that are opposed to
change and openness and accountability will become very agressive when
trapped. Also, it's important to identify those in the organization who
are willing to try new things and work with them in small incremental
pieces as opposed to attempting to convince "the world" there is a better
way.
