I am thinking about and processing through my very own mental model and personal filter the things the text authors say.
I find myself in conversations, mentally noting what thoughts, feelings, words myself and others are supressing and asking myself why. I am also considering what learning is taking place in these conversations.
In a larger organization, our US K-12 educational system, everyone knows the results are different than the results we expect. News people are frequently reporting US students score lower in key areas. Yet we continue to invest more dollars than ever before and come up with new initiatives like "No Child Left Behind" rather than addressing why the results do not equal our anticipated results. Perhaps everyone knows why and as a nation we are ignoring the truth.
Dr Rothwell in 572 said the whitehouse has had an OD Director on staff since President Eisenhower (1950s). What benefit to (the apparatus we call) goverment's learning has this position accomplished?
What about whistleblowers? and the ramifications of telling the truth everyone else ignores?
The one word that continues to surface is: balance.
Sorry for these ramblings. Right now I only have questions. I am searching for answers that will work for me.
I am just blogging where I am at today.
