Leading
Systems: Lessons from the Power Lab by
Barry Oshry (Microsoft WORD Format)
Every organization
is dysfunctional - can you do something to change it? Barry
Oshry recounts his experiences with the Power Lab, a 30+
year experiment in which people of diverse backgrounds participated
in a 3-day simulation to see what would happen in a specially
controlled environment. Lesson learned: when people of varying
stratifications (lower, mid, and upper-levels) forget they
are part of a system, it generally leads to mutany, anarchy,
and corruption. Barry Oshry's website: http://www.powerandsystems.com/reflections.htm
